First Date

Sunrise
I rise.

Today
THE day.

First date
My wait.

Nerves tense
Lose sense.

Mind swims
On dreams.

I search
Rose bunch.

Florist
Shows list.

Red rose
I choose.

Sunset
I’m set.

She comes
Breeze hums.

Says Hi
Pitch high.

Sound wafts
My heart.

Flower
Charms her.

Fingers fold
She holds.

Thorn pricks
She shrieks.

Rose wilts
Date splits.
