T h e   D a n c e

The stars danced in the sky
- a silent waltz -
in a black universe
that wrapped around
them like velvet

The prettiest dress,
Made for you
A white ribbon in your hair…

Shall we dance like those stars above?
A tango, skin-to-skin?

All I ask,
Is for a rose, so red
Whose petals,
I'll lay upon you;
A scarlet rain
Falling, oh-so-gently
Around you.

Heaven weeps
for the love that is ours.

In your eyes,
I see myself
as the love that is yours
and yours alone.

I see our future,
In the night-spilled shimmer
Of your beautiful irises,

Blue, like the deepest ocean
And deeper yet, I go;
falling deeper,
and deeper,
into you.

Hold me gently now,
As the tides flow.

This is my prayer,
To you,
May you never let go.
