Through the screen door her eyes rose with mine

feverishly I rehearsed each romantic word in my mind

caught in a tongue tie still desperately I searched

luckily for me the spring flowers had just birthed 

along the leading pathway to the doorway of dreams

I turned for one moment falling to my knees

plucked a white rose setting it at her feet

still without a word sweat streaming down in beads

I jumped to my feet and quickly ran away.....

Through the screen door her eyes rose with mine feverishly I rehearsed each romantic word in my mind caught in a tongue tie still desperately I searched luckily for me the spring flowers had just birthed along the leading pathway to the doorway of dreams I turned for one moment falling to my knees plucked nine white roses setting them at her feet still without a word sweat streaming down in beads I caught my first breath and quickly ran away..... ----- 9-21-2016
