Relaxed and poised,
I'm ready like there is no tomorrow.
Entering this anti-peace,
yet, peace it is supposed to be,
peace I wish it were for me.
Quietly she sits,
and I am waiting,
as the clock slowly ticks.
Why, I wondered,
why should this be difficult?
To simply hand a note of invitation.
Oh, it's done...
what gratification!
Now, all I can imagine is a negative,
but in my heart,
it's nothing but positive.
And now time has expired,
to the moment when I see her again.
She delivered her response,
and in subtle jubilation I had arrived!
An episode has ended,
and now I look towards the future,
of disappointment? of embarrassment? of disaster?
No, no, no...
Times have changed,
and tomorrow,
I look to happiness.
This is my first poem in almost a year.
This is based solely off of a recent experience where I asked this one very special girl to go to Prom with me. We're not in a relationship; she deserves better, really. Anyway, it's just a poem about how I was feeling at the time and I thought I'd share it with everyone, here. Enjoy.
AND please, feedback and criticism is very much welcomed. Thank you.
