Expectations

a gust of wind... an awkward glance, nervous... I shuffle near unaware, she strolls through the wind.... hair of gold gracious, she stirs, propinquity.... she never stops to notice, my strength builds to approach.... a jasmine eloquence I ponder intently.... a crowd.... I hover in distance, her voice in hymn.... does she see my passion eye.... may I, by chance, reach her demesne In forfeit I submit.. with nerves blooming, with cautious voice, she breaths I reach out my hand.... She speaks, "a pleasure my precious, I.... am Expectations...."

How clever, and I even had to look up YOUR word, propinquity. But I got lazy and did not look up demesne, which I know I have seen somewhere before! I love your approach with this contest. Congrats for your outstanding win, and a highest rating. LUv Andrea
