Allan Terry Poet Ballade

The First Ballad ever Written is a love song

She escorted me to my seat
I sat and smiled
it was an honor
a great honor
to dine
dance and just be with her
the evening ended
while the sun was still shing
I walked her apartment in my suspeners and vest
while she changed
so we could catch a movie
to dance off some more of that delicate meal
it was Tuesday and I had to be at work
by 11:30 the next day
so I paced myself.
I sat by the window
and I must have fallen asleep
between
4;30 and 4;45
I woke to have her on my lap
in that
Purple thang
that just
made her look
like someone
from the Planet Lust.
that night was the first night
of my life
everything before
had been
foolish, and unworthy of
everything
that took place from then on
I was in love and I knew it
she was in love
and showed it
we had
stumbled into Eden
and knew we had to
ask god to forgive us
I married her weeks later
with no regret 
My father told me I was foolish
and dumb
to let a stranger
divide me from my long standing lover
I quit her like
she was the flu
I aint had one regret since then
and everyone
who wanted to still
be in my life
would have to
readapt to my
wife
a woman who defined the role
and played the character like
she was the leading lady
she is my leading lady
I changed the way I talked
the things I had said
The people I had known
and the places I use to go
and I did it
without hesitation or
compromise
I am in love
and have been since
the moment I had awakened
to a woman who wanted and Loved me
