How I dreamed of her
I saw her every day
Walking down the street
Handbag and bangles
An occasional flick of hair
But no eyes for me
Oh to kiss those lips
Or whisper sweet words to her
Just to breathe her in
So I must be bold
One day I’ll walk towards her
Perhaps ask her out
Hello I will say
Would you like to go dancing
Perhaps the theatre?
Perhaps just a walk
And go for quick coffee
Would you care for that?
The next day I did
Hello I said giving my name
By a shop window
So smiling she said
The song of a single word
“Yes”, as our eyes met
Exchanging our names
While slowly walking along
Our eyes were transfixed
After work we met
Then I held her soft warm hand
We were together

sometimes it just takes us asking -- and we never really know where that risk will lead us, but if we dont take it -- look at what we will miss out on.
ReplyDeleteThat one "yes" likely inspired a thousand happy smiles and songs.
ReplyDeleteYes, can be a powerful word that changes the path of life.
ReplyDeleteawww such a sweet love song of 'Yes'....beautiful...
ReplyDeleteLovely and Longing as always, :) The pursuit can be both nerve wracking and exhilarating.
ReplyDeleteSo smiling she said
ReplyDeleteThe song of a single word
“Yes”, as our eyes met

Yes and No were the words I thought of at first too, but my poem went off on a tangent! This one is gentle and sweet as always, Robin!
ReplyDeleteHow sly to link the walk and the yes! I enjoy so much the song of seeing, asking, meeting eyes, and walking together hand in hand--yes.
ReplyDeleteDelightful read, as always.
ReplyDeleteI love how you answered this prompt with the song of a sweet romantic yes! What a reward for asking the question, Robin!
ReplyDeleteThe song of yes opens so many doors to possibilities. Your poem convinces me that we must ask for what we want.
ReplyDeleteIt pays to take a chance.
ReplyDeleteAs a poet, I have eternal belief in unconditional love and absolute submission...I love that lane of love where the two souls united at last.
ReplyDeleteLovely piece, Robin.
Yes is such a songfull word. Especially after pluck the courage to even just say hello.
ReplyDeleteWe should take effort and have courage to express what we desire. Lovely poem, Robin. Actually the line walking down the street made me hum the song Pretty Woman :-)
ReplyDeleteTook a hearts dare 'yes'. Nice one
ReplyDeleteMuch love...
All of our prayers can be answered by that single little word, Robin...
ReplyDeleteLovely poem.
