538. If You Saw Me Under The Mistletoe Poem by Jaden Knight
538. If You Saw Me Under The Mistletoe
What would you do if you saw me at the Christmas party
standing alone under the mistletoe
seemingly lost in my thoughts
with a half full drink in my right hand
Would you seek to ignore me like I am not there
not giving a second glance in my direction
running out of the room so as not to meet my eyes
muttering excuses to all around
Would you pluck up the courage to come over and talk
despite being aware what is above my head
knowing that people would expect us to share a kiss
even if it meant nothing to either of us
I just want to know in advance
so I won't be disappointed by how you react
if our eyes should meet at the Christmas party
and I'm standing alone under the mistletoe
ok, i'm about to put into a freshly-prepared 'Section C'. bri :)
i wonder how many guys/gals have thought like this as they drove/walked/ran to a Christmas party. i have seen mistletoe at parties, sometimes made of plastic. i wonder if the result of a kiss, or the kiss itself, is influenced differently depending on whether the mistletoe is Nature-grown or plastic-grown. i like this. it is one type of 'classic John Westlake'. very thoughtful and serious, tinged with romance or lack of it. and very well written. this is my favorite stanza, 'cause it gave me a chuckle, AND because i could 'see myself' thinking the same way perhaps. I just want to know in advance so I won't be disappointed by how you react if our eyes should meet at the Christmas party and I'm standing alone under the mistletoe when Section C of December's showcase is ready, this is planned to be the first poem in it. i hope i remember! bri ;) p.s. don't forget the breath mint! ! to MyPoemList
