At Midnight

At midnight 

She walked into the ballroom

Under dim light

Grew the love of the bridegroom 

Glass slippers 

Clicked against the smooth marble floors

Hush whispers 

From kings behind closed doors

At the altar

She stared into her lover's eyes

With no falter 

In his eyes was the truth, no lies

"I do"

The groom declared with a smile 

"I do"

She returned, heard even from a mile

Under moonlight 

They kissed by their grace

Goodnight 

They lie in each others' embrace
