A Ball Room

By Anonymous

A chandelier hangs above the dancers.
Light is reflected against the stone floors.

The crowd twirls, figures moving in a blur.
In the corner, near the drinks, a man stands.

He gazes across the room, his eyes bright.
He cannot help but smile when he sees her.

She is the woman in red with dark lochs.
Diamonds cling to her throat as she moves.

She smirks before grabbing her husband’s arm.
Man and Wife swim in a sea of color.
