Ballroom Delights

The ballroom looked inviting as I stood at the entrance door the lights were brightly shining from the ceiling to the floor The music filled the air as couples danced the waltz all men looked debonair in their well made tuxedos I lingered for a while before entering the room to calm my nerve I smiled as I sprayed on my perfume This night's going to be fun I reminded and told myself as I looked around and scanned searching his familiar face And then I saw him standing by the wall beside the door oblivious to the dancing going on at the dance floor His face lit up in smile as he saw me walking in I felt a hundred butterflies as I smelled his musky scent He took my hand and whispered "what took you so long to arrive?" "the ball has already started and we have to dance all night." I said, "sorry to keep you waiting it took me hour to prepare to look my best for this dancing as I know you would be here" Without much ado we glided to the Mexican tango we danced my heart was beating fastest as the mood took us in a trance We swayed and pranced on and on as the music kept on playing from tango, rumba, foxtrot to waltz till our knees felt like giving It was a night to remember filled with ballroom delights that happened in that summer in that warm and balmy night
