Blind Date

Polarized and charged like an ion 

Proceeding, with the ferocity of a lion.

Into danger without a thought

Excepting what fate brought.

Moving without hesitation

Lacking any consternation.

Until the task at hand is through

Nothing else will possibly do.

Focus now we’re almost here 

Gather your wits, dispel fear.

Taking steps forward, more and more

You’ve nearly reached her front door.

Pressing the bell, immense anticipation

She appears with a smile to your elation.

She follows you to your car as you implore

Dinner and discussions, are next in store.

You grab her door as she gets in 

Gently closing it behind her, safely within.

Do your best to get your bearings

Immense beauty, and that perfume she’s wearing. 

You reel around to the driver’s side 

Silently content you cleaned your ride.

Fingers crossed, now without fright

You pull away, to the awaiting night…

A Pleasant Date in Laguna Beach

She softly stood near a mangrove bush

My heart blazed as we talked

She turned me to a pile of mush

As I held her hand then we walked.

Her hazel eyes were warm to me

Each time I happened to catch her gaze

I felt the best for being just me

As her charms touched me in many ways.

I stood on the side of traffic

Walking, just to keep her safe

Our mutual attraction, quite prolific

Which was not done in haste.

Checking out the galleries

All nearby Laguna Beach

Not worried much about calories

As we dined at the cliff side’s reach.

The meal was done

All we could handle

For more fun

We shopped for candles.

Bee’s wax formed

And lovely scents

Earlier poured

And cooled by vents.

The store keeper and I

Shared our crafts

Upon which candle makers rely

And other facts.

Later as it had gotten dark

We journeyed back up the hill

To where we’d left my red car parked

And further adventures await us still…
