A warm evening breeze danced on my shoulder
Spirits and good times soon ahead
Friends and confidants with outstretched hands
Smiles all around
The room filled quickly
A blur of salutations
New faces and old
Spontaneous tidings all around
And then a moment
Captured in my memories
She was there
And my heart did race
Enchanting grace
Beauty in motion
Eyes of an angel
Her presence overwhelming
Simpler moments
Gave way to festivities
But an eye always focused
On that single one
Her laugh still echoes
Scents not soon forgot
To close ones eyes
The blissful memories
So playful, so accepting
Open and kind
Her touch intoxicating
Be still my heart
The night comes quick
And so my Venus
Doth float away
Not a dream
Splendor is awake…
