Love Poem: Expectations

Expectations

a gust of wind...
an awkward glance,
nervous...
I shuffle near
unaware, she strolls through the wind....

hair of gold
gracious, she stirs, propinquity.... 
she never stops to notice,
my strength builds to approach....
a jasmine eloquence I ponder intently.... 

a crowd....
I hover in distance,
her voice in hymn.... 
does she see my passion eye....
may I, by chance, reach her demesne 

In forfeit
I submit.. with nerves blooming,
with cautious voice, she breaths 
I reach out my hand....
She speaks, "a pleasure my precious, I.... am Expectations...."
