Ballroom Delights
With an earnest smile he asks me to dance
He is as nervous as I, I can judge by his stance
He glides me the floor and we began to prance
His distinctive manly smell puts me into a trance
His hand encircles my waist as our feet take flight
My breath sharply quickens, is my corset tied to tight
I fit perfectly his arms despite differences in height
I know my life will be forever changed this very night
Our hands clasped together, his eyes locked with mine
Electric shocks felt everywhere, definitely a tell-tale sign
"I love your teal blue dress", he says, "you look divine"
"And your lips fascinate me they are the color of wine"
"Thank you kind sir", a sudden blush reddens my face
With a grin he twirls and dips me with amazing grace
He reaches for my hair tie and releases it from the lace
"Your undeniably beauty madam truly lights up this place"
I smile for I know that he is equally smitten and sincere
We dance through the night, just wanting to stay near
He whispers, "I want to dance with you forever my dear"
Undoubtedly I know we'll be dancing like this year after year
