One Thousand Nights
John Marden Aug 2013
That long June day,
The 24th to be exact,
The day I laid my eyes on you,
And my heart was under attack

There was a longing in my heart,
A strange void in my soul,
It could only be filled by you,
For me to be whole

I tried many hours, even days
To fill that gap,
But I did not know where to start
I know I just needed a part.

Should I talk to her?
Should I ask her her name?
What do I do?
What do I say?

Emotions came over me,
Temptation, nervousness, and bliss
Since then I have longed to have you,
Maybe one day you will be in my arms

That first class together,
Western Civ 101,
I looked over to you,
And I knew I was done

I had to try and have you,
It would only be right,
I told myself,
I would not go down without a fight

So I confessed my true feelings,
I poured out my heart,
I put it all on the line,
Hoping you’d give me a shot

So here I sit on my bed,
Thoughts of you,
Running through my head

I lay here and think,
What would it take?
For just one kiss,
On your beautiful, sweet, precious lips

You are upstairs in your dorm,
I debate whether to send this to you or not,
I don’t know if you should read this poem,
For I am confused and alone

I just hope you find it in your heart,
To give me but a chance,
To show you what it means,
To have a true, loving romance

A hope for a never ending bliss
Because I’d trade one thousand nights in hell,
For just one simple kiss

A kiss upon your lips,
So tender and sweet,
To hold you in my arms,

Cheerio,
You make me go weak…

Those beautiful eyes,
They could be my demise,
I look into them and see,
The man I so want to be

Her beautiful lips,
How I long for a kiss,
I just want to hold her,
And make her mine

But I don't think she knows,
Are we friends or more,
Does anything go?
I can't explain the way I feel inside,
But I guess I'll have to try

So baby come here,
And lay down your head,
Please come stay here,
With me and my bed,
I just need to hold you,
And see you smile,
So please come stay here,
And stay for awhile

— The End —
