Sooner Than Soon

 

 

Alyssa Gandolfi

 

I know somewhere out there, there is someone for me,

So I shall take to my knees, and to heaven I’ll send my humble plea.

I’ll pray for a handsome man with large hands gentled with love.

Who among most things and desires, shall place me above.

He’ll have an ear for music and an appreciative eye for a dance.

A rugged man in every sense, though none too rough, for his woman he’ll romance.

He’ll hunt and fish for her, he’ll not let her starve,

And her beauty he’ll liken her from marble carved.

Brown be his hair, though not his eyes,

And grace him long limbs for his large size.

So my Lord send him to me sooner than soon,

Send him to me in the hours of the moon.

This was the prayer I sent to His gates,

So sure was I of my mate’s traits.

For I knew somewhere out there, he was praying for me.

Unbeknownst that to him I was being led in a hasty flea.

He sent me to him sooner than soon,

And we discovered we both danced to a similar tune.

So in the night by the hours of the moon,

We fell in love sooner than soon.

This is fabulous!
I am a hopeless romantic, and when it comes to asking
for what I want-I learned that after the fact.
And we discovered we both danced to a similar tune.
So in the night by the hours of the moon,
We fell in love sooner than soon.
Good luck in my contest!

"have a ear for music' Should be 'an ear for music'
Love the poem. Very beautiful.
If this is correct then it sounds like you found your prince charming.
Love All, Mejasha

Now this is abeautiful poem,

"For I knew somewhere out there, he was praying for me.
Unbeknownst that to him I was led in my hasty flea."

Deep and welll put, talks of your betrayel, as well as his, if I read you correctly. This is just a smoothly written and lovely poem. =)
