Not actually the way I intend to... You can comment if you want to, but I won't push it... [bodytext] => I pull out her chair.
She sits down slowly,
Sliding her knees
Under the table.
I push her in gently,
And sit down across
The small checkered table.
There's a short Italian
Dancing between tables
With a violin,
Playing slow
Romantic melodies.
I gaze at her
Over the candle.
I tell her she looks great tonight.
She blushes, and says "Thank you..."
I swallow hard,
And look deep into her eyes.
I walk my hands slowly
Across the tablecloth.
I cup my hands over hers.
I gently squeeze her left,
And sweep my hand over her eyes,
Instructing her to close them.
I stand up and move
Around behind her.
I wrap m y arm around her shoulders
Holding her warmly and lovingly.
I reach into my pocket
And withdraw the ring.
I hold it over her plate,
And whisper lovingly in her ear.
I whisper to her to open her eyes
After I swallow nervously.
I sit in the chair
Immediately next to her.
I watch her eyes
As they slowly make the journey
From the ring to my fingers
Up my arm and to my face.
She stares deep into my eyes,
And opens her mouth to answer.
I blink, and rub the sleep out of my eyes.
Why do dreams have to be so real? [comments] => 2 [counter] => 146 [topic] => 31 [informant] => sir_odd87 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )
The Dinner of a Lifetime

Very sweet, be it much more expensive than a cheap hooker. Frankly, I would prefer this over a hooker.....but,y'know, I'm biased...

It's a beautiful write....
