My Symphony

Our ballet

Like a rose gently

You danced across the floor that night

Not bothered by the moonlight

I stood in the dark

Observed as you jumped silently

Did a pirouette on the tip of your toes

Your beauty and elegance

Inspired my heart

You wished so desperatly to perform

But you would not let an eye observe your form

You took note of me

Saw me standing in the dark

You extended your hand so gentle

Begging me to inch closer

And as i did

I was apalled by my own stupidity

I could not amount to your beauty

Your posture and your elegance

I could do nothing but run

But every night

As the clock struck for midnights hour

I would witness you dance

Dance our ballet

It's beautiful finesse

The steps of it

Only expanded as time went on

Never

Had i witnessed a performance

Which had me so enthralled

And one night you asked

Your voice gentle as the silk on your body

"Monsieur would you play for me?"

Your voice asked so shyly

"Oui madame"

I answered as i sat down by the piano

You waited so sweetly for me to begin

Got ready as i calmed the fire within

Every night for so many years

Had i but imagined the melody in my head

But now finally
