Rumination

The instant I saw her I was irresistibly lured
to a table in the corner where she sat secluded
I approached with a manner that I hoped was assured
Oblivious to the ease which hearts are deluded.

My swagger was peerless but byond her detection
I could see she was lost deep in thought
I knew i shouldn't disrupt introspection
Any phrase i could turn was for naught.

I was stopped in my tracks I could only admire
One so lovely with much more to impart
So many virtues she owns to capture desire
She must be the one I could trust with my heart.

So I stood like a rock my future before me
A woman with such beauty and intellect
Standing in the dark all alone I could see
Such a prize i must surely select.

What mere words could impress this intelligent girl?
Would she see our fates grand design?
How could I seize such a valuable pearl
To ensure that our lives would entwine?

Al last I dared to disturb this fair lass
I approached the chair where she sat
But before from my lips any words could pass
She looked up to ask me "Does this dress make me look fat?"
