Poem Title:
Poem
She told me to meet her at a quarter past ten By the old five and dime on Main She said it was important, I just couldn’t wait To see that lovely face again. She was a beauty, you see, in college she was it; The girl who had it all and more. She could have had anyone in the school back then. I questioned, what was I for? We drifted apart shortly after graduation, you see. She traveled Europe. I, well I had no funds. So when she called me this night from out of the blue To her, her arms, I was ready to run. From out of the darkness, streetlight now on her face, Casting shadows and hiding her years, She was still radiant, still had the beauty of a rose Then she spoke and warned me of her fears. Her husband, a senator, was mad on her tracks For something she had overheard She immediately needed the safety of another I said, “come’, before she said another word. It appears he had been taking some money on the side From an inscrutable lot of sorts If word got out, if it was leaked to the press He’d die or go down in the courts. I told her she was safe here, with me for the night. She said, she somehow knew she would be I set up the couch, the intended place of my sleep Then settled in and talked over tea.
