Women in long gowns
Filled the hall
Swaying in the music
Momentously glancing at the gentlemen
Nonstop chatter on admiration
Sweet compliments filled the air
Clanking of glasses against each other
Clatter of heels on the wooden floor
Gowns pacing off the floor in the melody
Disco lights adding grandeur to the beauty around
It was one festival of color and love.
Admiring the ecstatic spectacle
There she was by the floor
Standing, lost in her thoughts,
Waiting for her turn.
Her eyes glistening in the night lights
Said it all.
Gowns brushed past her,
Voices echoed through her ears,
She missed their sweet convos
As she lost taste of this undeniable moment.
With one final glance at her lighted mirage
She makes her way towards the exit
A man in a tuxedo offers his hand
She glances up as he asks
“May I have this dance with you?”
There it was,
Her fairytale fantasy coming true.
