Flaming Elegance
The sun came out behind the clouds
Of dismal stockade, effete vows
The room lit up as she came through the door.
Blushing bright and flaming red
I tried to do my work, instead
I pulled my livid jaw up off the floor.
Ineffable her beauteous face
Impeccable her stunning grace
A voice that puts the serenades to shame
Eyes of stunning, deep in thought
A frame of angels, ravish wrought
A cordial personality innate
A fools epitome am I
To keep this face in my minds eye
To get caught up in bitter teenage lust.
I must be casual, yet not curt
A big mistake like this will hurt
Just be yourself so she can gain your trust....
The sun came out behind the clouds
Of dismal stockades, effete vows
The room lit up as she came through the door.
Blushing bright and flaming red
I gave up on my work and said
"Why, hello, have I not seen you before?"
"Probably..." she said....
