will you still go out with me?A Poem by Wem Ortiz4 years 6 months and 22 days Spoken WordsWould you care if I ask you out for a date? After all we’ve been together for years now.
Would you like me to fetch you?
or probably not, cause your parents might get mad.
what should I wear? Coat and tie or shirts
and ragged jeans
just tell me, cause any of it would suit me
is there any chance, we can get out tonight? or you simply can’t? well I would wait for a day , weeks
even months or yes years to come.
you don’t have to worry, you know I’m patient.
Can I knock on your door. Hold you close
stare in your eyes and speak words
that would calm your shaking nerves
can’ I whisper my love, or should I shout
So the world would know my true intentions
and I don’t want commissions from your Mom and Dad
not even solicitations from friends just to get us out of this map.
I work hard.
so hard that even a penny of it is enough to make you feel glad.
but will you still go out with me.
if I can’t drive you out of that gate.
would you still come with me.
if we just walk and see the city’s streets
hearing people speak, shoulder to shoulder to
an over occupied public utility jeep?
Would you still go out with me.
From simply strolling at the lagoon
feeding fishes with pop rice bought from a vendor
as we wait for the sun to come down soon.
would you still go out with me?
as we run towards the shelter as rain falls because of this funny weather
and I’ll embrace you when the atmosphere becomes colder
and then again I would stare in your eyes,
forwardly say my deepest intentions
no one can harm you when you are with me,
I just simply dream that you would go out with me.
even if they don’t want us to become what we wanted to be.
even if time will hinder us to be in love.
or even if I am banish to the doors of your house
nor pretend that we cannot feel each
other’s feelings
or become heartless towards our emotions
I still wanted to see you.
now please go out with me.
