It has no schedule or playbill to follow, yet...

its ageless storyline so wonderfully bold,

takes control of the senses

and captures the soul.

It melts the most reluctant of hearts

and throws aside matters of time and age,

then...at an unsuspecting moment,

pulls you onto love's magical stage.

It needs only a smile, a meeting of the eyes,

and passion's thunder in the late night hour...

as love's whispered words of endearment

court with an intoxicating power.

Its sensual music nourishes the mind,

a charismatic pursuit known by its name,

still...if ever to imagine a future without it,

...one's life would never be the same.
