Summer ends and autumn chills
Bring together warms hands
A mask hides your lovely face
But not your gasp of surprise
You see me, all that is
Important for a dance and shared breath
of loveliness and wonder
Behind The Manor's doors
And all I care about
Your shapely lips that can cover mine
Today and always
But most of all - at midnight
***
The Willow Ball is here
And we dance up the stairs.

Goodnight everyone!
Ninot Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful array of mask and add-ons to complete the dressing. These are special items not readily available. Would be a big attraction!
Am not going! Rickety bones creaking for any form of dancing. Have a fine time!
Hank
And I am sure the ladies will be disappointed Sir Hank.
Delete.... and make me feel
ReplyDeleteLike being
In the teen

DeleteThe music alone takes you back in time Sir Pakcik. The Willow Ball is for all poets at heart - when we close our eyes, the waltz and the tango come to life.
DeleteLike the anticipation and excitement ~ Dance away ~
ReplyDeleteThe anticipation was half the fun, Heavan. Left me breathless as I entered Willow Manor's grand entrance.
Deletewow...now that is one marvelous dress and i love the scrolling on the masks you chose as well....delicious verse as well...
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, Brian, I did not see you at The Manor. Were you hiding behind D'verse Bar? Watching all of us having a grand time.
Delete... maybe we could trade masks ... for just a minute or two? Yours is spectacular ... lovely, lovely poetry to match.
ReplyDeleteDear Helen
DeleteOf course we can trade masks for a minute or two. And while we are at that, let's trade dancing partners. I would love to have Jude for a while. And in cyberspace, Rudy is a divine dancer!
A lovely time at the Willow Ball with your best guy - how wonderful! Beautiful masks, beautiful poem - beautiful life! And I get to enjoy it all by reading you!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am most happy to share it with you Sherry! Do you have your mask on today?
DeleteYour dress and matching mask are tres elegant, dear friend! Lovely words, as well...
