Emily


So who is this beauty?  I’m snared by her charm   
She's smiling while holding  another man’s arm 
She is so amazing I can’t look away                    
I have but one moment, oh what shall I say?   

She sits at the table across from my view   
My heart pounds within me, she hasn’t a clue 
I’ll try to be cool but I’m out of control 
If I don’t do something I won’t be consoled

She catches me staring and turns with a smile 
Will she accept me? Or see me as vile?   
She looks back towards me, and stares for a while 
I try not to flinch, but I know I am on trial   

She excuses herself and walks from her friends     
I follow behind… opportunity lends   
We walk down the hallway just past the wall phone   
She stops and then turns to address me alone

"I’m here with my cousin”, “He brought me tonight" 
The words that are spoken a splendid delight!   
"Please call me tomorrow sometime around three"   
"I'll meet you for dinner. You think  you’ll be free?"   

She hands me a napkin and then walks away 
I want to go with her  I know I must stay  
Her name and her number are written for me 
“I can’t wait to see you”…and signed…Emily

  2. Excellent poem! It's so good I don't even have anything to say I'm "speechless" lol
    Keep up the good work! Bravo!

    I've really enjoyed reviewing your work I hope you would take the time to do the same to me. I'm writing a new book called "My Best friend's Brother" it hasn't got any reviews yet and I would like to know what you think about it.
