John Loving Iii Poet I do not know?

Shhhhhh

Shhhhh
there she is
on computer no. 2
the one i come here to see
if by chance she's here
the one in the green dress
and black spiked boots!
now she's a lady
lady like in all her ways

why is that guy in the black jacket 
blocking my view
what site is she on 
does she know about the soup
i wonder if my name
will ring a bell
john loving iii 
yes that's me

maybe we can share a soda sometime
give me your number 
and i'll give you mine

who am i fooling
she's probably got a hulky boyfriend
somewhere working out in the gym
right now
and she's leaving now to pick him up

why god? why not me?
why do i have a girl i like every where
i go; at my age?
did she really make me forget
sharon, april, tonie, judy, inez
tiffany,and the whole host of women
that i don't even know their names?

all of a sudden 
i was there; our world
her's and mine
can i bump into her and meet her?
or just over come my shyness
and try being someone i'm not

or should i just keep on having 
this obsesion every time i come 
to the library and she's there?

to ask God?
the question is rhetorical
i feel like woody allen
in a mell gibson film

i'm just suppose to step aside
then remembering the phrase
"It is better to have loved and lost..."
oh yeah, that's right love hurts
be happy with the way things are now

Robin L. Gass October 30, 2009 at 7:30 AM We should never be someone we are not! If someone doesn't see the value in who you really are then they aren't the one. I'd stick to the praying! Excellent write, John! Loive, Robin

Phyllis Babcock October 29, 2009 at 7:16 PM Ah someone captured your interest at the library. Hey why not. You never know what can happen. God Bless Phyl

Sue Mason October 28, 2009 at 10:07 AM LOL wonderful write here, John even though I'm sure you are veeeerrrryyyy serious ... smile ... anyway, thanks so much for your recent comments on my writing. Been awhile since I've seen your wonderful name. There are entirely too many folks here at the Soup ... LOL ... getting around to comment is becoming an all day thing ... hope you have a wonderful Halloween weekend and don't scare the girls too much!!

Doris Culverhouse October 24, 2009 at 5:50 PM good poem, I meant keep trying to meet the love interest. It might be worth it.

Carolyn Devonshire October 24, 2009 at 3:14 PM John, you have written of this woman before and I can tell she has truly captured your interest. Set aside the images of "Woody Allen" and take your rightful role as Mel Gibson. Then just walk over and ask her out. Otherwise, you may spend an entire lifetime wondering whether she might have said, "Yes." Do it, dear friend. I think God will smile down on you at this time and give you a much-deserved special blessing! Love, Carolyn

Charmaine Chircop October 23, 2009 at 11:16 AM Let your heart show you the way,if she s worth it..dont let anyone block your way..i love the Woody Allen,Mel Gibson thing,,made me smile,a pleasure to read ..-Charma

Steve Voorhees October 22, 2009 at 8:26 PM John how have you been my friend?? (Did you call me a Rat??

Whats the worst that can happen? She blows you off? Big deal!! You're going to fall in love with the girl at the Movie Rental store next week anyway! LOL Chest out and chin up broseph--DO IT!! Much love, Steve

Barbara Gorelick October 22, 2009 at 7:17 PM this is funny but sad..Dont step aside..you remember..nothing ventured..nothing gained..maybe she is sitting there hoping you'd come over...maybe not.. Anyway..its a great write..BG
