Roller Coaster/First DateA Poem by JSAECHFirst time on a roller coaster combined with a first dateHeart racing as I wait for my turn The gates open and I find my seat As I buckle up my stomach starts to churn Hoping it’s not so scary I turn white as a sheet Heart racing as I finally ask her on a date Being able to get all the words out is quite a feat Holding my breath that she will agree to eight Praying as I ask, I’m not white as a sheet All buckled in it is time for the ride to begin The workers complete their final checks Even through the nervousness I start to grin Knowing in a minute I will be in a vortex At the restaurant, let the date begin Conversation is slowly getting complex But I cannot help but to grin It’s going so well I think about future prospects Up the hill and moving very slowly Building up lots of anticipation Excitement is the feeling being felt, mostly It is too late now for any hesitation This may be the start of no longer feeling lonely Building up lots of anticipation Excitement is the feeling being felt, mostly It is too late now for any hesitation At the crest now of the hill As we start on the downward ride It is a truly amazing thrill My screams I cannot hide This date with her is a dream fulfilled For so long I have wanted to try It is a truly amazing thrill The screams of joy inside my head I try to hide I’m screaming now as we reach top speed Holding on with all my strength This is the best feeling I have to concede I cannot remember this rides length The walk to the door I am filled with a longing need I no longer want to keep her at arm’s length This is the best feeling I have to concede We are on the same wavelength The rest of the ride is nothing but a blur Up and down, round and round I am hoping these feelings will reoccur Now that the coaster is slowing down The start of the first kiss is nothing but a blur Leaning in I can feel my heart pound I am hoping these feelings will reoccur As we kiss everything stops, I can’t hear a sound The coaster pulls in to a final stop It is time to unbuckle and step out Walking gingerly away I am praying I don’t drop This was the ride of a lifetime, there is no doubt As the kiss ends, the world, I am atop I cannot wait for the next time we can hangout Walking gingerly away I am praying I don’t drop This was the date of a lifetime there is no doubt © 2018 JSAECH |
