The Long Awaited Meeting

A man waits for his beloved at the airport.

The long awaited meeting
 

An adrenaline Rush! An upcoming conference She would finally get to see him late this November! A late call to him, he excitedly listened He would finally be able to wrap his arms around her! ~~~~~~~~ He would meet her late afternoon flight He thought, we can dine and dance all night! Finally the time to see him was soon to be here Her pounding, aching heart would fill her with cheer ~~~~~~~~ He arrived early at her gate.....So that he could wait (and wait!) Will I know what to do? Will I know what to say? ~~~~~~~~ The announcement is made to all in the airborne room And all in the plane feel impending doom.... He got the cautious news from those on the ground "Can this be true?" He asks as his heart start to pound She sits buckled in and she prays and she prays She asks HIM to help the pilots to find a way The big metal bird finally lands -Major delays All is all right, they all received HIS praise ~~~~~~~~ Anxiously he awaits, trying to put himself at ease... She thinks, "Will he? Is he? Oh Please!" He pushes up close along with all the others She desperately tries to maintain her druthers ~~~~~~~~ There eyes finally meet, two uneasy smiles It seems like its been two billion miles She says to him softly, "I'm sorry I'm so late." He says nothing. He only holds her tight.

Author's Note

Just a little romantic write. I realize that I am not a poet. I prefer short stories and erotica to rhyming.

Sometimes, it's not about the "skill" of the poet. Some of the best poems are simply how much the reader can relate to it. And each of us have our own style, so there is now skill.... just whether or not we can FEEL what is going on. This is something I can very much relate to in my current circumstances, and a refreshing write. The imagery of fear, followed by the welcome feel of comfort is very good. Good work!

Thank you for a wonderful comment. That helps to inspire me.

Oh this was sweet. I could feel the intensity of the moment when she was late. Felt as if there might be a chance of a crash at first. Oh no!

But then they finally met. I've been in that airport situation. It is very tense when you meet for the first time. Great write!

it was a nice play on words
setting of imagery
it had a poetic feel to it
as i read your mind through writes
i see your excitement and passion
of the anticipations between man and woman
the longings
and the callings
cool

lol ... cool. Although, I can't see anyone taking a plane these days! Be my luck, with how the world hates me, they'd find out I'm on the plane and then blow it up.

The fact that some parts rhyme and others don't, makes it a bit awkward. Although I didn't really feel it until the last lines. It's really good though. I like that it's a story within a poem. It's very "cute" (For lack of a better word). Good job :)

charming poetic with anticipation dawning along each stanza~ a bit of dark humor in the center~ a sweet taste at the end~ deightful~
