THE BEAUTIFUL UNKNOWN

School dances
sudden glances
quick romances
a flashback
into the
beautiful
unknown

Hours in
preparation
anticipation
but
will she notice
it was all for her

The room
deafening
shouting instructions
to your wingman
whose support
is paramount

Lights flash
and crawl
up the walls
in a room
bursting with people
she is the only one
you see

A long
deep
inhale of courage
throwing caution to
imaginable
consequences

If I make
the lingering walk
alone
across the gym floor
will she take my hand

I'm here
I guess I'll just take
the chance
but will she say yes
to the dance

Love this Rumi-like poetry @doghaus, having experienced that moment of trepidation, with a touch of fear, heart thumping, mustering up the last vestige of courage.
Then she smiles and offers a gentle wave and it suddenly dawns on you that it is meant for the guy standing behind you!!
It is not how many times you fall down, it is how many times you get up again, dust yourself off and keep that beating heart open - that's what counts. More please!

Exactly @cause-no-harm, that was the moment I was attempting to re-create...

...and you did it admirable @doghaus, thank you!

she will say yes, after all its just a dance
better try , than regret

How true @shahran7 no regrets!

High school dances and romances...the incubator of teenage angst.

Love the word incubator @cecicastor!
