Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

The Dating Game

The room is dark
the candle’s reflection
sway shadows over your face
the uneasiness is replaced by awareness,

How did we get here?
you were only a friend
when did we cross the indiscernible line?
and started this dating game?

I never knew you could be so sweet
for years you’ve been the one
to catch me when I fall,
the one who wiped the tears,

the one who picked up the 
broken pieces of my heart 
little did we know, 
you were the one that held my heart
in your hands,

the embrace that sheltered me 
from the start, now sends shivers down my spine
do we continue this dating game?
and maybe just maybe,
turn it into a family starting game?

Timothy Brumley July 4, 2010 at 1:45 PM That last line and question...the one always leads to the other, and hopefully all the way to the finals to see who wears the crowns! Lovely sentiments Wilma, it's always better to fall in love with a friend. So that when the flesh finally does fail us we always have that to fall back on. Thanks for your comments, sweet lady, on my poetry. I do cherish each one!

Carolyn Devonshire July 3, 2010 at 3:44 PM From my experience, close friends make the best lifetime mates. Go for it, Wilma. Build on that friendship and perhaps you will soon begin the "family starting game." Love, Carolyn
