The soothing ballad never escaped me
so slowly to the rythm my feet gave in
shackles of resistance broke
and my indeliberate steps led me into the dark room
but your face was effulgent
failing to deny me your sapphire like eyes
The sight of you throwing back your head
letting your luscious crop of hair loose
and its perfume permeating the air
all these blended with the silvery peel of voice from your golden voice box
I reached out to your pretty fingers tenderly pressing the piano
and you turned to me producing a benignant smile
revealing dimples like small pink craters
it was all exquisite! You still remember?
That was the start of our love story
