The Beautiful Unknown
THE BEAUTIFUL UNKNOWN
School dances
sudden glances
quick romances
a flashback
into the
beautiful
unknown
Hours in
preparation
anticipation
but
will she notice
it was all for her
The room
deafening
shouting instructions
to your wingman
whose support
is paramount
Lights flash
and crawl
up the walls
in a room
bursting with people
she is the only one
you see
A long
deep
inhale of courage
throwing caution to
imaginable
consequences
If I make
the lingering walk
alone
across the gym floor
will she take my hand
I'm here
I guess I'll just take
the chance
but will she say yes
to the dance

Thank you @sandalphon for recognizing and supporting creative works (including poetry) on steemit. I am honoured you selected my work and will surely be inspired by the other posts you selected.
Love this Rumi-like poetry @doghaus, having experienced that moment of trepidation, with a touch of fear, heart thumping, mustering up the last vestige of courage.
Then she smiles and offers a gentle wave and it suddenly dawns on you that it is meant for the guy standing behind you!!
It is not how many times you fall down, it is how many times you get up again, dust yourself off and keep that beating heart open - that's what counts. More please!
Exactly @cause-no-harm, that was the moment I was attempting to re-create...
...and you did it admirable @doghaus, thank you!
she will say yes, after all its just a dance
better try , than regret
How true @shahran7 no regrets!
yess
