Len Gasun Poet Terza Rima

Notes About The Poem

Ballroom Delights

I douse myself by melodious waves of music
As he maneuvers me into his gracefulness
Clasps of our hands draw my ebullience like magic

In ecstasy, feet slide to and fro to express
The pleasure at ritzy hall in ballroom delight
Huge array of lights shimmers on our gala dress

Oh, I am sheer brought to the crest of his limelight! 
He sways me and turns, our balancing pays the price
Wearing my confidence in the spectator’s sight

I can feel every beat with his most sumptuous spice
His perfume wafting on air, I’m more than alive 
Clutching back our body close, great passions arise

All in delighted spirit, convivial grace thrives
Ballroom dancing paints the beauty where love survives

-	In honor of Victor Gabriel Gilbert, a great painter and artist. 
        I like him so much and his masterpiece.
        Imagining to dance with him in consummate ease:)
