Ladies' Night

Contributed by Richard1506 on Monday, 29th June 2009 @ 01:05:42 PM in AEST
Topic: LovePoetry

It was quite a convivial evening
And happiness flowed with the drink
I sat by the wall of the dance-hall
The noise made it too hard to think.

I saw my dear friend in the half-light
She was caught in pallid profile.
The distance was great in between us
But I felt the hurt in her smile.

She needed to talk to somebody;
She needed a friend to confide.
No-one other could sense her despair
An empty chair stood at her side.

She then turned and looked up, straight at me,
As if I had sent her some sign
I knew, across the noise-barriered room
The heart that she needed was mine.

Our gazes locked, and, for an instant,
The depths of her soul I could see,
And, for what seemed a millennium
She had eyes for no-one but me.

I struggled to get myself to her;
Cast tables and chairs in my wake
Eyes fixed on the target before me
Her torment, the part that I’d take.

I sat down in the chair beside her
And touched her small, slender soft hand.
The pain fell from her face as I said
“I feel it, I do understand.”

She smiled, and the light in her eyes
Was just as a bolt from above,
Committed for life, I had fallen
Hopelessly, and helpless, in love.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
