The title was used from a prompt that I was going to enter for a contest; a 40 line poem. |
My eyes were gazing at the gift I bought. It would have been Perfect, I thought; It should have Been no surprise. What I sought Out to do, each time I thought of You, was surprise you with Something special. Dazzled by your presence, I felt the essence of your cologne. I Should have knelt each time I Prayed. The light shone bright, Looking up at the stars. It was A delightful night. Things were moving in The night. It was a Bumpy ride. I just wanted to Hide. I was frightened, but I Ended up very enlightened. With your hand in mine, I Knew I'd be fine. Your hugs And kisses drove me wild, But I just stood there meek And mild. It took a lot of Learning; the memories Were filed away in the back Of my brain. When I looked Up at the moon, I knew that I Would see you soon. It would have been Perfect, but people Have let us down. It's so sad: I want To frown. You made Me smile; They made Me cry. Why do they Do this, I do not know. I guess they don't Believe In us. Get Over it, and don't put Up a fuss. Written by Anna Marie Carlson Tuesday, December 3, 2019 |
