A First Date

A FIRST DATE

I paint my eyes in colored hues.
I lightly gloss my lips
I check my watch a 1000 times
My heart makes anxious flips.

I smooth my clothes and check my face.
My date is almost here.
Around the house I quickly pace
And try to hide my fear.

The phone call comes; It's time to go.
He waits for me outside
I shake his hand and share my smile
And ask " Ready to ride ?"

We share a meal at Tommy's
And some easy conversation
I wonder what has happened
To my earlier reservations

I feel myself relaxing
It's as if I'm with a friend.
I start to feel excited
And to hope we'll meet again.

We take a trip for ice cream
Then a movie at my place
I snuggle close beside him
And enjoy his warm embrace

We share a little silence
And he ask me for a a kiss
I press my lips against his
In a simple moments bliss.

He hugs me when he has to leave
And says that its been great.
I tell him that I feel the same
A perfect sweet first date

a knock on the door and a rose or two, then this would have been a perfect date it's true. I am old fashion, being an old fart has a lot to do with it. Men opening doors, ladies first, men picking up the check, Guys have it made now days and it's the womens fault for letting them slide.

Oh wow, Jennie. What a sweet poem. I am, for the most part, a structured writer myself. I really enjoy a good beat and tight rhyme. And you got it all kiddo. Lets see some more. And btw, he's a luck guy!
