Love Flowers at Midnight

The birth of new love. A couple has a magical encounter at a ball.

Drowsy eyes awaken quick.
His enchantment waltzes in.
Reflexive straightened posture.
Between them the ballroom floor.

Burgundy gown of velvet,
silk trim accenting her waist.
Auburn ringlets dangle loose
over sparkling emerald eyes.

Quiet swaying to the music.
She catches his eyes in limbo.
He bows low as he approaches.
Polite curtsey in return.

He extends his hand out to her,
eyes glancing toward the floor.
Fingers intertwine as they dance.
Bodies drift together slow.

His eyes fall on her pouty lips:
charming, glossy, and pinkened.
He whispers a cryptic message.
Incites a secretive smile.

Fresh air out on the balcony
underneath the twinkling stars.
Head lowers to steal a deep kiss.
Hands cradle his face receiving.

Love flowers at the midnight hour,
spellbinding magic in bloom.
Comet dashes across the sky.
Flutters of romance bind two hearts.
