About the Poem
This is about a man who is preparing a special evening for the woman he loves. With a special question in mind. And he wonders, "Will She Come?"
Will She Come? |
| by }X{Angel}X{ |
| all evening he waited anxiously eyeing the clock retracing his steps over and over counting the minutes until her arrival kneeling before a crackling fire adding another log he rose to check again his preparations for tonight the thick sheepskin rug lay lovingly spread before the flames waiting for her the book the one she longed after in that tiny shop downtown rested on the warm stone hearth waiting for her the wine that special bottle from a few years ago late fall harvest sat open and sweet waiting for her the glasses his best crystal sat sparkling in the firelight waiting for her his hand stopped a moment over his heart and lovingly fingered the prize there hidden away in his pocket where it lay waiting for her taking the ring from its secret place he gazed at it mesmerized by its shine by what it stood for soon he smiled and softly slipped it back to its repose where it lay waiting for her seating himself back on the chair he resumed his vigil over the fire over the wine over the clock over himself and he sat quiet and lost in thought waiting for her |

What a beautiful poem. I found it very interesting and impressive that you captured the male perspective when my impression of you is that you are female. Wonderful job.

It is totally amazing how when You are feeling lonely and "waiting" for that special "one" to show how touched I was by Your poem. I know many feel this as I have.I felt it was wrote for Me as I sit here day after day counting down the days til "she" comes to Me from "engalnd"..I really loved Your Poem and sent it to Her. Thank You and keep writing.;)

Your poem was fantastic! It reminds me of what I am currently going through. Always waiting, everything for her. It was beautiful. And I love how you never say if she did or did not come, the poem can go either way, and that is up to the reader! Again, I say Bravo!

Wow! What a beautiful poem! Very well done!

I couldn't believe how much this poem described my waiting for the true love of my life. I am in the Army and she is not with me. Every night I lay there waiting for her. This poem fully expresses the longing felt and is truly a work of art! Thank You for sharing it with us.

This poem reminded me that men have emotions and doubts, too. It is so easy to forget that. I liked that it ended not knowing if "she" came. That wasn't the point. What mattered was the preparation and the building excitment, albiet nervousness, for the special night. It left me hoping for him. and hoping that someday I am "she." Beautiful work.
NIBBLES
Did she come? I liked this poem very much and understood that this night was special, but to not know the outcome let me down.
kay
I thought this was a beautiful poem. Keep writting.
Mary
I really like your poem. When you put your feelings on paper, it's remarkable about how others could be feeling the same. I printed your poem. I hope you don't mind.
Cheryl
I was waiting, hoping she would show. But in the end, it didn't say so. I choose to believe she did. It is a beautiful poem.
Sonya
I think this poem has to do with a hope within loneliness. It's very expressive and it's one of the most touching poems I've ever read. Thanks for sharing it.
