Dominquette Montgomery Poem
Last night we made love but it wasn’t the same
I felt someone else is trying to stake claim
It didn’t seem to matter that the passion wasn’t there
It didn’t matter much at all and you didn’t seem to care.
I woke up early to plan a romantic day
There were so many things I wanted to say
So I brought out my teddy and the red heels too
A private dance was the plan and it’s all for you, Boo.
I went to the store with you on my mind
I bought chocolate strawberries and a little white wine
Then I went home to start on what I thought would be
The resolution I needed to keep you in love with me.
You called to say that you were running a little late
That call on this day, I did not anticipate
As I sat all alone at a dinner for two
I wondered if it was too late; had I already lost you?
I think about what I could have possibly done
Maybe I loved too weak...maybe I loved too strong
Tell me can she do all the things that I do for you?
Tell me can she make you feel the way I that do?
It’s midnight now and the food’s turned cold
The wine’s warm and bitter and this scene's getting old
I’ve made up my mind, I won’t even cry
I’ll go find the right one; I'll find the perfect guy.
I walked to the door and I didn’t look back
My mind’s made up and nothing’s throwing me off track
I opened the door to find him there on one knee
He held up a ring and he said this to me –
“I know that you think I’ve found someone new
Baby, no other woman can compare to you
I offer this ring and my heart once again
To you my lover, my wife and my friend.”
“I ask you for us and to trust me when I say
That I love you more and more with every passing day
I won’t go looking elsewhere for what I have at home
I need you to understand I’ll never leave you alone.”
The tears started to roll and I said to this man
As he slowly got up and put the ring in my hand
“Perfect is you, baby, perfect is me
Perfect is us; we fit perfectly
Perfection is guaranteed in every single way
Perfect in love is the way we will stay"

Dominquette Montgomery Poem
a dim lit room, a slow and steady groove
I feel his stare on me; he watches as I move
a man of mystery, a man of intrigue
my heart races as he slowly moves towards me
one dance he wants, one dance he asks
to be close to him is not so hard a task
I’m hesitant, though, as he pulls me near
he leans in to me and whispers in my ear
‘you are so beautiful’ he says to me
‘what is your name?’ he asks anxiously
‘for I need to know before I depart
the name of the woman who’s stolen my heart’
a smile I gave him to show I was pleased
his style and his approach made me weak in the knees
‘you call me a thief and expect a reply
how bold of you, love, your request I deny’
he smiled at me as we finished our dance
‘I offer to you a night of romance
let me assure you that only good intentions remain
then will you tell me, will you give me your name?’
for the rest of the night I enjoyed his company
he seduced my mind, touched my heart; he was truly unique
‘if it’s love that u want, then you’ll no longer seek
you’ve found it in me, my name is Dominquette….’
