Her Special Night

Finding something to wear on a special occasion!

She sat on her ummade bed,

dressed in her lepard skin

mystique push up bra,

and her lace trim hispsters.

Her wedding anniversary,

and she didn't have a thing to wear.

 

Black handkerchief hem skirt

with a metallic top lays on a stool.

She stares at it with dismay.

She wants sexy, not funeral wear.

 

Blue flyaway pants, sheer flowing layers.

A beaded top with flare sleeves to match,

all scattered on the floor.

She wants elegance, not professional.

 

Dark red patchwork blouse,

she tries on, but doesn't fit

across her perky bossoms.

Tears spill down her face,

now feeling fat and ugly.

She wants triming, not plump.

 

Chocolate brown v-neck cardigan,

camel/teal skirt, and reptile pumps.

Hole in blouse, streched elastic in skirt,

and her toes hurt just looking at the shoes.

Sobs echoe the room.

She wants style,not discomfort all night.

 

Sunshine yellow subtly top,

and tight fitting jeans that show her fanny.

She knows he loves this out fit,

but it wasn't right for the ocassion.

 

Her room was a cluttered mess.

She walks slowly to the closet,

noticing a beautiful wrapped package

in the far back.

She opens the card to read.

 

My love, my beautiful wife,

how I love you so.

Here is a little something for you

to wear tonight.

If I know you, and I do,

right now you're down to tears

searching for that special out fit.

Search no more my love.

See you soon!

 

She lifts the lid off the box,

revealing a silk red dress.

She puts it on and looks in the

full length mirror, smiling.

She feels, sexy, elegant, slim and beautiful.

 

White pumps, black boots, brown heels,

none that would suit her new dress.

She feels arms around her,

then she sees the pair of red flat

ballerina shoes dangling in his hand.

Laughter escapes his lips as he

whirls her around and kisses her.

 

"Your limo awaits, my lady."

Wide eyed, she peers out the window.

He kisses her one last time,

then they walk arm in arm out,

knowing her clothes want be on for long.

I LOVE this little story. It is what happens to true love when it grows up. When you get older, so many things matter, and don't matter. There is more truth to this story than you realize. Nicely written. Very enjoyable.

I like this story. it was filled with more than just the fuss about clothing...loved the last two stanza's...wonderfully done...

[LA Lorena]

I like this! I think all of us women have been there before, the clothes scattered everywhere, nothing fitting right, looking right, being the perfect outfit. It's less about the actual outfit than the underlying feeling behind it, we all need to feel loved and desired, desirable. The man in this story helps her to feel this, not by the outfit itself, but in knowing HER, her feelings, her needs. You've demonstrated this very well.

iloved this true no matter what your age or the number of years you have been married sometimes you need something new to feel pretty

[Valentine]

Woman and their clothing. I like the vision you create. Sometime we need to give surprise gifts to heat up a life affair. I like the complete poem. A very good ending to a outstanding poem. Thank you.

Wonderful!! :) If only there were more husbands who noticed and cared so much :) Beautiful way to capture her frustration and tears. :)

[Crayon]

I want one! ahahaha its really well done and I like it alot :)

[Sara Mercury]

Very nice! But I don't know if I'd know what to do with a man like that! lol I'd get bored, I think! lol Although, I have to say that I had a little snigger at 'tight jeans that show her fanny.' If a British person reads that, he/she will think the woman's front parts ... lol

Funny how language and words are different the world over, isn't it?

[My Fair Lady]

Is there anyone out there like him???? I love this.
