Homage to Romance

Prompt: dancing under the stars

Homage to Romance

a dust of diamonds
in the midnight Galaxy
glitters high above
an outdoor dance floor empty
all but for one lone couple

holding each other
lovers dance to their own tune
charging the moment
caught up in the melody
of magic and moonlight

the music hushes
all too soon the night will die
they cling in silence
reluctant to say goodbye
to part at the light of dawn
