Ballroom Gown

Ballroom Gown

I will never regret the day our eyes met.  She had on a ballroom gown that could remove any frown.  She had a refined mind that had the taste of wine.  She was a soul that strolled.  There was elegance in her presence.  She proceeded unimpeded to whatever whim with which she chose to swim.  About her swells tales of dragon tails, merry fairies and a prince she's about to marry.  She was but a blossomed cheery.  Sweet songs sang the canary.

She was poised for noise and yet silent in thought.  I found myself staring at her and I didn't care if I got caught.  She saw me too and then we both knew that there was an ambiance and a chance for a dance and perhaps a chance for romance.  Her beauty hit me like an avalanche and I was glad to have been bowled over to have been rolled over by such a boulder.  I came to know that she was like snow.  She was a pristine queen that I had never before seen.   She was a picture whose thousand words did not have to be spoken to be heard and I listened as she glistened.

If I could and I should I reach for the Big Dipper to fashion it into a glass slipper just for her to wear, just for her to be there and just for others to stare.  Lovely is her hair.  Crisp is the night air.  She's like an effervescent moon that makes me swoon.  Now I know why the peacock croons.  Now I know why the eagle flies high in the sky and now I know to whom I must go.  In a blur it is her.  She is why my heart has begun to purr.  She is why the world swirls.  She is why there are beautiful pearls.  She is why doves cry and she is why I must give love a try.

She's like a lovely stream that flows down into my dreams.  She makes my jagged edges smooth and she makes steady my turbulent eddies.  In her I have seen what is serene.  If only I could have her for my queen.  Surely such a princess would think me to be possessed.  It's all I can do not to make things a mess.  It's all I can do to look at such a beautiful dress and wonder how she found such a beautiful gown.  Does she know that she can reverse any frown?  Does she know why I bashfully stand around?  Does she know what a diamond I've found?

I will never regret the day our eyes met.  I will never regret the day she found that gown.  I will never regret the day the sunset, not when the night was so bright with such a beautiful sight.  She is by far the brightest star, the shiniest pearl and the merriest of any blossomed cheery.  She is the one that I'm going to marry and sweet songs sings the canary,
