My Dream Date Over a Moonflower

My Dream Date Over A Moonflower 

 
She be a Toyota amongst Ferraris

Nondescript, simple, garden variety

A book with a plain cover

Yet with pages that intrigue

Pages that enlighten

And raises my eyebrows

And especially

A book that I can't put down

And want to read over and over

Unlike others

She'd take life slow

Definitely in moderation

Definitely with an eye on spiritual riches

Instead of materialistic gains

I see her heart skipping with joy

On slow walks around the park

Or taking a swim in the ocean

With both our eyes and hearts in harmony

And filled with laughter and warmth

Her eyes would say 

"Let's Go Places"

... Some others would want a fairytale

Rome, Paris, London

Perhaps a candle light dinner under the moon

With romantic music in the background

But I would be happy finding that special one

That's swells with taking in a Chinese restaurant 

In the slowest part of town

... sharing a moon flower soup
