Sit beside me at the play
Your fingers laced with mine
Kiss me as the lights go down
Willing captives for a time

Join me in this curtained world
Created and made real
Scenes portrayed and taking form
Like stars at dark revealed

Tendrils reach and wrap around
Enveloping our thoughts
Lifting us into their realm
Fantasy with tickets bought

The love we share feels deepened
Plush seats, the stage aglow
Learning more that bonds us
Together, at the show.
