Dance Moves

 Across the room their eyes did meet
 She heard the song, she felt the beat
 They danced all night to rhythms sweet
 It was a treat, it was a treat

 She saw the passion in his eyes
 Her desire she could not disguise
 They shared kisses and ecstasy's prize
 as heartbeats rise, as heartbeats rise

 Was it love that this dance had spanned
 Was it destiny's winning hand
 Or was it something less than grand
 A one night stand, a one night stand

Since I'm optimistic, I'm saying it's something grand, instead of a one night stand. It's love. A magical moment shared, indeed. My best to you, Joseph. :) Hugs, Brandy

Such a pity that this romance should last just one night. Lovely poem.

This has a very lyrical rhythm to it and I absolutely love your word weaving creating such a passionate ambience. I especially love how you’ve questioned in the end. So touching! Loved it . Pleasure reading your work always

Oh, this is such a passionate and romantic write, describing magic and love within moments of time.. The rhymes are so beautiful here along with mellifluous flow of words. You've crafted this gorgeously!
