And They Danced

The music begins
The lights dim
He asks her hand
The dance of a lifetime!
The night flows
As she moves and turns
With no will of her own,
Nor none of the music;
He holds her captive
More a prisoner himself!
He looks in her eyes,
And the night freezes
Tears flow down her cheeks
As she dances in her happiness;
She weeps, for her life seems unbelievable
Her love melts from her gentle eyes
While they dance entranced
To the beatings of their hearts;
For the music had stopped long ago!
And so had their lives been lived in those moments...
