Long Matchmaker Poems

Heat Lightening
by Michael R. Burch

how two people met
No, its not about
Romeo and Juliet

Freshman geek. Computer nerd.
Shy, sweet, not my type.
So why did his presence follow me like
A homeless, hungry puppy?
Unforgettable, undeniable, irresistible.
Just friends, but my heart already knew.
And the Matchmaker smiled.

Electricity in his touch.
Butterflies in my stomach.
