Beauty in the Ballroom

T’was in the dimly lit ballroom,
in a grand palace
that my wandering eyes
were caught & mesmerized
by a heavenly beauty
sipping from her chalice

At that moment,
all others were nothing more
flickering shades
that my eyes evade
I was bewitched
caught in her allure

“M’lady” I extended my hand
“I have traveled far and wide,
would you by chance,
let me have this dance…
i’d be honored,
to swing by your side”

The end of my journey
my destiny awaits
for i have never witnessed such elegance
in all the world, nothing close to relevant
I’d give anything
if only we could dance the night away.
