Poem Title:
Poem
With a deliberate shake of her long back curls She strode right past him Not acknowledging his smile Exuding indifference And a certain air of pride “Could you please tell me what things are suitable for vegetarians?” She asked the attendants at the table A mellow voice to her left answered “I can tell you….I own this place And I checked the menu personally.” Ready to give a “Mind your own business” retort She turned around and looked up into The most dazzling SKY blue eyes She had EVER seen And with that She simply gulped down All the mean words Piled high on her tongue Just as though they were One of those tasty little appetizers She’d been asking about “May I?” He offered his arm And took her round the table Pointing out what she should sample Then he had one of his attendants Escort her to her table As he had to see to an urgent matter She was furious with herself Who the hell did he think he was... Trying to reduce her to a shy, tongue tied teenager With his honed charm and refined bearing How dare he flirt when she was sure he had a wife Spying on him... Some goddess of beauty Just waiting for him to make a wrong move So she could swoop down And stake her claim Showing all around That SHE was the ideal woman And deserving of this male specimen of perfection... She tried to calm down The Mediterranean sparkled In the moonlight The sound of the sea The smell of the salty air Worked their magic in her As the breeze cooled her face It was a dreamy summer night Almost unreal... The lights on the shore twinkled The pool looked so inviting If only she could dip in And be where she was most comfortable For she had mastery over water... She let the tension seep out of her The graduates were causing a stir There on the outdoor dance floor She smiled at her niece and gave her a hug Despite herself, and her worry about not fitting in She was having a good time If only she could wipe out the memory Of those sparkling blue eyes… TO BE CONTINUED… Eileen Manassian Ghali
