Notes About The Poem

One Night

One Night

She touched my arm so gently As we talked about the day Of music, mirth, and circumstance And all the games we play Her eyes were lit with promise And they teased of mystery Her head was back and tilted As we stood where none could see She faced my side to whisper Some of the secrets "goin' 'round" While I listened with a passion As my heart began to pound Pictures painted purple And forbidden latitudes All hidden in the banter And concealed with platitudes Her voice was soft As a warm summer breeze From ruby lips That taunted and teased Calmly and cool She took both my hands And by a dwindling fire Danced to love's command
