Blind Date
Having ambivalent feelings
about going on the blind date,
and hearing a lot of arcane gossip,
I decided to get ready at any rate,
My sister being sick and insisting I take her place,
feeling like it was an immolation in any case,
dressing to the nines with my lips a luscious red,
my Mom my intercessor commenting on my threads,
Suddenly the quiescent was broken by the door bell ringing,
I opened the door to a handsome flamboyant man singing,
smiling widely and smelling the quintessence of his cologne,
I could tell he was tactile while helping me with my coat,
Taking me to a restaurant where I seldom did eat,
afterwards to a moonlight stroll which was a treat,
driving me back home we laughed till tears fell on our cheeks,
walking me to my front door his kiss feeling oh so bittersweet...
