Because of Grace and Beauty Your Dancing Steps Made

Because Of Grace And Beauty Your Dancing Steps Made Where bright red in your dance dress, shows truth in your heart gold and silver lace my dreams of time spent with you. Tho' fate sent dark storms driving us so far apart, my memories are as bright as your eyes were blue. This world, swooned in time with your hot, sensual dance you sent waves of passion into my willing veins. My dear, your body, sweet music was your romance when your dancing stopped, we all felt such lonesome pains. I knew, you would defeat crushing blues and return to dance floor and sashay as only you can do. For your great heart's loving truth will forever yearn to dress as a queen and put on your dancing shoes! This too, dances through all my wondrous midnight dreams those red flashes and turns that your beauty displayed. Such moments this dark world stops, peace reigns, so it seems because of grace and beauty your dancing steps made! 9-24-2017

This is a beautiful poem. To me it tells of happiness and loss. Sweet sorrow indeed.

Thank you my friend. I wrote of a beautiful lady that once danced with such grace. Of my youth and its wonders and treasures found. Of bittersweet memories and a past that was anything but boring. And how such treasures lost may still affect a man , even if considered judiciously.

Thank you my friend. I too wish that others would be blessed as I have been in my long life and despite my many youthful follies and its wildness. As others surely deserve it far more than I.......
