The Dance
Breathtaking beauty
a vision of a dream,
more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen.
I remember seeing her walk into the room
won't forget it anytime soon.
She was young and beautiful,
straight off the cover of a magazine.
The soft texture of her skin
reminded me of peaches and cream
she was about 5 foot 9 and 120
silky blonde hair with eyes
the color of the deep blue sea
young and beautiful,
this breathtaking beauty.
The club was full and all eyes on her
she just flashed a smile and sat at a table in the corner
it wasn't just the men
but the women alike,
this breathtaking beauty had a special light.
The evening wore on with the sounds of many songs
her presence commanding,
so very strong,
not a flaw in any feature
in this stunning, beautiful creature.
The evening still passing
she still hadn't danced
but I can sure tell you
there were a lot men dreaming of romance.
I for one would steal a glance from time to time
seen her turn down a lot of offers,
smiling and being kind.
A singer stepped on stage
and the lights went way down low
the band started playing one
of the most beautiful songs I know.
He sat down in front and
the words started flowing
so soft and beautifully,
it was a song made famous
by Journey, "Faithfully"
Made you wish you could
melt into the arms of another
want to feel them inside your heart forever.
Just then I felt the soft touch
of a hand on my shoulder,
I was asked to dance by a beautiful whisper.
I turned to say yes and there was that incredible
smile from those wonderful lips
I couldn't believe it,
she actually came over and asked me to dance.
I took her hand and accompanied
her to the dance floor,
my eyes feasted on the white
cotton blouse and tight fitting jeans she wore.
I looked around and saw everyone stare
and I knew they were asking "Why me"?
"Why me" dancing with this breathtaking beauty?
She looked me in the eyes and smiled
my heart racing wild,
I put out my hands to her for the dance
but she slid in close to my body,
right past.
She moved her face next to mine
creamy skin so smooth, so fine
I was intoxicated by the beauty of her scent
my pulse out of control at that very moment.
A beautiful song,
a breathtaking beauty
my arms full,
pressed tight to a soft and desirable body.
I was mesmerized
hypnotized,
by the tenderness in her eyes.
She asked my name
I replied and asked the same,
then she asked if I came here very often
I said usually just once a week,
she smiled that smile
we started dancing cheek to cheek
then suddenly,
she slid her fingers into mine and squeezed tight
much to my smile and hearts delight.
The song was ending
but I was burning with fever,
as I was dancing with God's most beautiful creature.
The dance over,
but not in my heart
I think she knew,
as our fingers slowly slipped apart.
The crowd started applauding
as the lights slowly came back on
I turned back around,
but Lord she was gone.
I searched everywhere
but couldn't find her
nowhere to be found,
just the beautiful memory of the dance as a reminder.
Then in my shirt pocket I felt a piece of paper
I pulled it out and on it
was some writing and a number.
I opened it up and this is what it said
"Thank you for the dance, you beautiful man
and after this dance
if you would like to take a chance
take this number and please call me,
Love, Jodi"
I stood there amazed
almost disbelieving,
then I smiled
because I knew I wasn't dreaming.
It all started with a dance
and holding each other tight
and if I am lucky,
it will end with us dancing in love
for the rest of my life.
