Not Your Usual V-Day Post

Last night we had a "cheesy love poem" poetry reading for my floor; and instead of writing about my usual thoughts pertaining to love and romance, I thought I would share what I read last night. I was debating on doing an entire blog post about this, but than I decided it would sound better when written as a poem. It doesn't necessarily have to do with Valentine's Day, per say, but it very much involves romance and a dream that I've had for a very long time.

That Yellow Dress

Sunshine-bright and satin-like

That yellow dress it was

A princess type that I envisioned to be

To wear it on a late spring evening

The night of my junior prom

Peace and serenity I feigned

When trying to find a date

There was only one man’s hand I wanted to hold

Yet out of fear, I asked too late

And so I went with positivity

My dream currently set aside

A lone princess dancing carefree

Twirling with laughter

Yet there was no denying the absence of joy from my eyes

That yellow dress, a princess dress

Tucked away for two years in a deep sleep

Still my wish to have that dance, I longingly so keep

Perhaps someday, I wonder when

A man will take me in his arms

Whether it be beneath the moonlit sky or disco lights

I’ll be wearing that yellow dress again
