Darling, will you come dancing,
Dance with me, this night?
And underneath the moon and stars,
We’ll give that mouse a fright:
“I’ve never seen such love before”
He’ll be sure,
to remark.

We’ll fox-trot among the lillies
I’ll whisper you sweet words.
Our feet shall stir the sleeping worms,
Who in turn shall wake the birds.
And they will sing to match our movements,
As we twirl:
round and round.

And a chorus shall rise among
all the crannies of the flora
We dance and sing and love and laugh
Your very beauty like an aura.
And on and on, throughout the dark
Till cloud first kissed with sun.

Now stopped, your eyes will find mine,
and I shall brush back the hair
from your face and will think:
This night, my love has come to bear.

Darling will you come dancing,
Dance with me, for life?

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?
This is an idea I came up with one night, on writing it down I don't feel it's perfect as yet. Any help would be much apreciated. Although if you like it the way it is, that's good too.

last stanza

only a suggestion how do you feel about
changing it just ever so slightly
Now stopped your eyes will FIND mine
and I shall brush(BACK) your hair from your face and think
etc etc

this poem is very well written up to the last stanza which could use just a bit of tweaking
