Still the QueenA Poem by Sami KhalilHappens to lots of men especially in some countries... Thus is not about me, but I have seen it happen. Rejection is devastating.Still the Queen by Sami Khalil For days on end, I waited patiently Dawdled I did for a timely moment A ring in hand to offer graciously Under a leafy tree through bestowment. On terra-cotta tiles, your dad heard
steps Like police boots and heart roaring in
fire In his rocking wood chair, he showed
biceps As the clock melted in dreadful ire. A resounding “No” made no sense to me Dashing hopes when failed to impress
his kind The butter-fly flew past the glib and
glee For no bells will be heard in anchored
bind. I stood back then watching the gulf
between Till two horizons meet, you're still the
queen. © 2024 Sami KhalilReviews
