Anticipating All the Evening's Fun

It is a darkling night in Union Square Yet in our hearts 'tis bright as noonday sun The gloomy mist cannot our high hopes snare Anticipating all the evening's fun We're going to a premiere Broadway play And meeting all the stars and cast backstage Then dancing out beneath the Milky Way To music sweet as wine that's finely aged We take each other's hands, but something's wrong Expressions on our faces clammy cold No matter that the band now plays our song We're out of cards, and now it's time to fold We search each other's eyes to find a clue No mirror in them whispers, 'I love you'

This is a profoundly mysterious and majestic read. I love it's intrigue and inspiration. You've outdone yourself with such a powerfully illusive and enchanting poem. I love it. God bless you always

Very deep , Gershon, imagery is great. I had a feel of the Casinos in your verse, that I miss. Enjoyed the story. Hugs Eve
