Poem Title:
Poem
I've focused on this evening For near a fortnight now Each element planned to perfection Every detail intended to wow I admit that in the past My efforts have been wanting To pack my feelings to a single night At the very least was daunting But not this time I was proud to say I would dazzle her every sense A night complete with all her favorites Sparing no expense With a rose in my teeth, two goblets in hand and attired in a rented tux She passed me bye, slumped on the couch and rambled of how her job sucks I offered some wine, she said "not tonight This day has left me too tired I must review these reports, then get some rest Or tomorrow I'll surely be fired" As I watched her wearily climb the stairs I felt a wave of somber dismay I extinguished all the candle light and sent the cellist away. As I gazed at all my wasted effort I felt an angry rush She didn't acknowledge the time I had spent Just left me alone in the hush As hours passed I realized My anger was surely misplaced I remembered that smile she shows only to me and all of my pain was erased I went upstairs to check on my sweet. and give what support I could If I could reach inside and relieve her stress God knows I certainly would Atop our pedal covered bed In a state of grace she slept Clutching the poem I had left on her pillow still soaked with the tears she had wept I placed a blanket upon her and wiped away her tear then closed my eyes to imagine How to dazzle my love next year.
