Merritt

I was at a launch party in search of adventure and swill
when something occurred that evening; it was fantastic!
As she strolled into view, both time and space stood still
I was in the presence of greatness within that small attic.

Her name was Merritt but it might as well be Aphrodite,
for she was the fairest woman that I had ever seen
when she sang a cheerful tune, my heart filled with glee
she possesses so much talent that it's almost obscene.

When she spoke to me that night, I could barely breathe
I was honored just to share the same air with this goddess
a shame that I had to go because I didn't want to leave;
I long to see this lady again this poor poet can confess.

She has a stunning beauty that no one could ever forget
blessed is the man who captures the heart of Merritt.

Wonderful poem! Very beautiful writing and your lines of poetry really stand out. Great job creating this fantasy woman to write so wonderfully about.
