Touched By Your Flame

Perfect stranger! Admiring glances across the hall A hand stretched with a smile so charm Inviting to waltz this gorgeous night I delightfully glided to the handsome knight, Two flamingos waltzing round and round My first Viennese Waltz this memorable night Touched by your flame bewitching beau! My eternal partner!

Oh my Manel...How romantic is THIS?...I always wished I knew how to truly waltz and this poem is a true waltz...It also brings to mind Frank Sinatra's 'Strangers in the Night'...And you have a lucky beau too! - Tim

A treat a new poem, most excellent, I have enjoyed the mood you have created here. A most romantic piece. My sweetie is away for a few days so I was missing her and wrote a poem called "Your Garden" check it out if you have a chance. You are a romantic sonI am sure you will appreciate it. Also in answer to your question I am very well, I hope you are as well.
