One Of Two Gooder Poems Poem by me poet yeps poet

My Dawn
You were my first love born
I took you for a dance
once I had my maiden chance

we danced remember
Dawn
though the night
your parents were watching
from the balcony
I wanted to kiss you
hug you
closely I nearly lipped your nose too

Remember you said
they had eagle's eyes
you scared me out of my wits
then you did smile

But I lied
said yes
I know they will only wrath bestow
and
I withdrew from dancing
being dangerously
too near and slow


Years into the passage of time
I now feel like a coward indeed
why did I not take a chance
just to kiss
perhaps they'd too have
admired us
my, O what a miss

Well many tonnes of water
has since flowed down
the MISSISSIPPI
the NILE
the THAMES
now tears can't help
the time's lost wonderful
and
memorable games

just recall the time gone since
but you and I have become
a living entity
you in someone else's arms
so am I

Time heals they say
but my loss of that day
makes me feel like
a coward
till today

But it was a risky chance for me
I was mounting a new career
the kiss could have resulted
in the end of me
