The Dark Waltz

I love the Dark Waltz - deliciously midnight

The Phantom, the opera, the dark lair

The gothic, the mystery, the moonlight

The ethereal spirit of night air

I love the sensual, the star crossed young lovers

The tragic, the dreamer, the doomed

Shakespeare, Lord Byron and Sylvia Plath

Great poets that I have consumed

I love Tchaikovsky, Odette and Odile

Carmen by Bizet, Miss Saigon, Les Mis

The music, the poetry that make my heart feel 

Nothing inspires such as this

Spinning me round to the beautiful sound

of the Dark Waltz into the abyss.
