Secret Desire

From my "Desires Series"

It started one day in the springtime

A flower was placed on her chair

With out a note, no reason or rhyme

Nobody knew from whom or where,

 

He told himself, it could never be

She would never be interested in him

And it was more than easy enough to see

The chance for love was less than slim,

 

For he was just a working Joe

And she was from a different class

There was no way that she could know

He viewed her through a looking glass,

 

Yet unbeknownst to him, it appears

That she was also sad and lonely

Between her own contradictions and fears

Still looking for her one and only,

 

He snuck the flowers every now and then

And she would pick them up and smile

Though she didn’t know just how or when

He enjoyed seeing her happiness for a while,

 

Then one day he got up the mettle

Though he didn’t let her know it was he

But a single rose with pink colored petals

Place on her desk with this simple decree,

 

“I have wondered for what seems like forever

And I’ve worried you would push me away

Could I get up the nerve and endeavor

If I were to ask you out, what would you say?

 

Forgive me for being presumptuous

But I must finally be bold and inquire

For I no longer want to be anonymous

Because you are my Secret Desire.

If Prince Charming wrote poetry, this would be the result! A *sigh*-worthy piece, Trace!

Perfectly said, Rita!

Oh my god! This is the best. Big sighs, I almost cried. Such a very sweet romantic poem that had me cheering for you at the end, hoping she says yes!

[Trace]

Well after I talked her in to going out with me
I read her my poetry
She found a man with a sensitive heart
And vowed right then we would never part.

Thank you so very much for reading and commenting on my writing.
It means the world to me.

Heavy sigh! What a wonderful love story this is. So romantic. I want to know if she said yes and they ended up together! (by the way, I will be singing "Uptown Girl" all day now!) Loved it, Trace. Lydi**

If I knew how to put music with my poetry... that is exactly the song I would have chosen.
