A Yellow Rose: Dance card's full

A Yellow Rose: Dance card's full

Slow moving notes from the piano were sprout
looking her in the eyes with his hand held out
together they messed like clouds in the sky
then stepping softly in a synchronized glide.

A long yellow dress swirled and twirled
as the pace soon quickened to tilt a whirl
watchers sat watching as these two danced
the piano man sang a tune of romance.

Eye to eye across the floor they sailed
his hand went lower across her back it trailed
she pulled it back up as they circled around
spinning to the music like a merry-go-round.

Two in tune with one another's moves
hands like feathers in finger grooves
escalating heart rate as the song slowed
dancing with elegance, A Yellow Rose.

They stood in the center of the dance hall floor
he held a Lady in yellow and was waiting for more
as local ladies come for the tavern's dance
for nickels in their jars and perhaps, romance

A new song broke out like a turtle dove's coo
slowly the notes to the dancers were brewed
their feet stepped lightly toe to toe
together they blended two moving souls.

Song after song the night rolled on
dancing to music both short and long
The gentleman and the lady gingerly flowed
dancing with smiles sailed A Yellow Rose.
