The Ballroom

In my head there is a ballroom of light
And the spotlight falls on you.
You light up my life in songs and promise.

Your skin glows in the limelight of love
As the ball glitters silly twinkles to nowhere;
Your eyes glow with the moment.

You, in your red top, my lady in red
That is as mad as I am yours, as I was
In times gone by, of moments long forgotten.

You twirl, your dress, your eyes, your white breasts
The song of your love, haunting
That captures my soul to you as I fall in love with you

Again. For love we did then, a time ago
In a different space and time unknown
We loved in wild passion and soft kisses

And I fly to you in my heart with but one tear
That escapes my guarded love
Afraid to give, my gift to my queen

I take my bravery to you.
I look to your eyes long and fall into the dark
No more do I fear, no more the angels mock and guard.

I give to her my heart for She
Is the owner of my soul as I am hers
To cherish in love all time.

Very atmospheric. I have never been to a ballroom but you showed me something of what that time was like.
