THE GIRL ON THE BUS
by Paul Curtis I climbed the stairs To the top deck Then I found a seat And sat Then I heard a voice say "hi" It was soft and gently spoken I turned towards the voice Which emanated from a girl With the warmest smile And her red hair ablaze In the morning sun And with her head slightly inclined She said again "hi" That's all Just "hi" And with that simple word Came her smiling eyes Beneath her blazing hair And a radiant glow And a feeling came over me A peaceful warm feeling As warm as her smile Then all at once I felt so at ease As if I had known her forever Though I had seen her only once before And did not think she had seen me All she said was "hi" But her tone spoke volumes I returned her smile And tamely said "hello" I wanted to say so much more She smiled again This time with the heat To match her flaming locks I needed no words As with that wondrous smile All my questions were answered I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
