Waltzing away...

This one is from early 2009...not sure of the date...

you take my hand and 
put it on your shoulder.
and I find your hand
slipping around my waist.

you lead me on to the 
centre of the dance floor.
at our own pace we go,
there is no haste.

I feel like a princess
in a red flowing gown.
you my shining knight,
tall, dark and striking.

the lights are dimmed
and the music is soft.
the whole atmosphere
is to both our liking.

the magnificent ballroom
with crystal chandeliers.
velvety soft carpet
under our feet.

you holding me tight
and waltzing with me.
a moment of pleasure, 
a feeling so sweet.

the orchestra stops,
music fades away.
and in my ears I 
hear the ovation.

and I open my eyes
in my living room.
no crowd of people,
just us in isolation.

no glitzy gown,
no grand ballroom.
no orchestra playing
the music that we hear.

but I still feel like a princess,
and you still my shining knight.
blissfully contented I am,
holding you near.
