Midnight Masquerade

Amassed to rejoice in the sheer merriment of life
Mother Nature has supplied us with this night
And a companion to share in this sumptuous delight
Moonlight crafts a titivation in the room as it streams through the ballroom windows

Music saturates the air, floods the room, and courses through our veins
Blood is pounding, boiling under the surface of our skin, rousing ecstasy
Twirling in the ballroom, as the clock strikes twelve, we glide on the marble floor
Souls are ablaze, but the faces are obscured so we cannot see

Intricate masks cover the fragile faces, creating an enigmatic façade
However the spirit is left exposed for the exploration of one’s partner
The art of dancing bares the soul and intertwines it with another
Leaving no emotion hidden between them

Gaze into the eyes of your alluring consort, your true lover.
Observe the copious sparks that cavort within each sparkling iris
What you see there cannot be feigned
  A force whose energy cannot be illuminated nor rationalized by mere science

Your body, so close to another, is afire
Flames, like fervent tongues, lick at your skin with each caress of a fingertip
A sigh escapes your mouth and falls over your loitering bottom lip
Elation erupts from your core and shatters all reason


Partnered, we share the intimacies of the dance
Our soft touches linger as our bodies, like climbing ivy, entwine
Growing passion within the heart is fashioned
Instruments play a zealous melody as the stars start to align.
