Both Willing Victims of Romance

Both Willing Victims Of Romance Shall we dance this romantic dance? With moonlight beaming on thy hair Was it fate or just by pure chance, We both found ourselves there? Both willing victims of romance. I shall not lose thee this sweet night When this moment sent me reeling Why does thou shine so very bright, Thy glow radiates love feelings? Thou art my first heavenly sight. Can we find that lost paradise? Open treasure chest with no key. For thee I will pay any price, Begging thy love forth on my knees. Thy charms, ardor does entice. Shall we dance this romantic dance? With moonlight beaming on thy hair Was it fate or just by pure chance, We both found ourselves there? Both willing victims of romance.

Robert, a great setting of mood and scene - a singular time in life. : ) Agreed about the Must; best not to get in her face, so to speak.

It has such great flow with the eight syllables this one, Robert! A truly lovely and romantic poem you have created!

Absolutely beautiful and romantic Robert I love the impact of the repeated stanza! I agree you have to go with the flow of your muse and not antagonise her - mine can turn stroppy like a tempestuous teenager:-) hugs jan xx
