A Fairy Tale Retold
She entered the ballroom, her nerves on fire,
Her synthetic dress fit her like a dream,
Rustic, she knew nothing about desire,
In silence, she stood, a classy extreme;
He entered the ballroom, dressed like a prince,
Wondering how these dances to avoid,
When he saw her, his eyes he couldn't convince,
She, a timeless beauty, he, overjoyed;
He reached her amid the swirling dancers,
She looked at him with blue eyes astounded,
They danced till midnight, searching for answers,
Could love blossom this quick? Left confounded;
The clock struck twelve, it ended too soon,
Love's illusion came to a sudden end,
Silver rays emanate from the wan moon,
She ran away from him, his feelings rend;
Who was she? Where could he find her again?
Questions bombarded his lovestruck mind,
Her glass slipper came to his help and then,
His lovely Cinderella he did find.
