Lost Opportunity

\nI barely heard the words that left her lips
\nBut read the lines she wrote behind her eyes.
\nAlready I could taste the sweet ellipse
\nThat would transmit her gentle loving sighs.<\/p>\n
We danced alone all round that crowded room
\nAnd every step we learned a little more.
\nI’ll never lose the scent of her perfume
\nWhatever tricks tomorrow has in store.<\/p>\n
But parties end as time pursues his ends,
\nA piece of me was lost into the night;
\nA final kiss before she joined her friends
\nAnd I still taste that moment of delight.<\/p>\n
I’m not a handsome Prince, what can I do?
\nMy Cinderella didn’t leave her shoe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
