Death Waltz Poems

Sway like the breeze
On a spring eve,

A
prayer
I
say for

with you
each
waking
day.

In silence he obeyed,
No words were spoken,
So love is not delayed!

In silence he asked her,
In silence they danced,
words did not matter,

A dress of crimson and seemly scarlet,
His suit chocolaty, her gown rich velvet--
A blurry flash of diamond bracelet;
As lover waltzes with angelic starlet!
