Midnight merengue

Under the stars,
just enough moonlight.
He holds her close,
the touch just right.

One foot moves,
the other follows.
Both arm sway,
the evening mellows .

A turn ,a twist,
a nimble fall.
A look into the eye,
to win it all.

Not merely a dance,
a celebration of sorts.
To get each other,
against all odds.

A promise was made
to be kept each day.
To dance forever,
their Midnight Merengue.
