Blind Date
10:19:00
A table a chair, no food, no candles
All I could catch was a scent supreme
Filled the air like the dust before rain
I sat still, in the darkness, adjusting my tie.
Next was her voice, gentle and sweet
She spoke slowly yet with perfect precision
Alluringly she drew my ears itching closer
I sat still, in the darkness, adjusting my tie.
Then she broke into soliloquy
Dispensing the predilections of her soul
Masterpiece templates of her dreams, I quivered
I sat still, in the darkness, adjusting my tie.
She sang, her voice sonorous and echoing
I shivered as she ripped the parts apart
As the pimples spread underneath my sleeve
I sat still, in the darkness, adjusting my tie.
And then she stopped,
My heart followed,
The silence loud,
My heart pounding,
I waited, listened,
My watch ticking,
My tongue twisted,
Her feet moved,
I heard a sigh,
It grew intense,
The buzzer shrieked...
The date was over, before I had a chance to speak.
As they drew me out of my chair,
The guards berating my reckless decision
I let them take me without protest,
I had broken the only rule there was
No lights! But alas, I had to see for myself
That her face was as beautiful as her mind was
For she had already won my heart
My speech would only be a pointless prolong
And so it was that on the perfect blind date
I sat still, in the darkness adjusting my tie.
