(aaq) A Lovely Lass Poem by Edwin Alba Empestan

I saw her crossing the street
very lovely a lady. My breath
seemed stop with the strong
pounding of my heart. I became
disoriented do not know what to
do. Time is of the essence that
I must talk to her

Otherwise all will be lost, but
her only lovely image, surely
will be there. What will I do?
I am so ashamed to get near her
But come on! I must do some-
thing now or she will be gone
forever. Now bravely I came
near and say “Hi”! to her

Jesus for heaven sake she smiled
and say 'Hi' too, Oh what a
feeling! From then on I hold her
hand tenderly that she gave it too
Then we crossed together the
street to catch our ride. I say my
name and she say hers and now
I am trying to find the 'key'

The key is important and that is
to know her and where she was
Again she has answered me
I was so happy and we have our
ride. Together we have enjoyed
our short trip and parted ways
I can not sleep thinking of her
the whole night long, Cupid
has struck me his arrow for sure.

I was in a hurry for the King Sun
to come out above the sky that I
can find where she was? To talk
to her would be a great day but
fear comes to me as to her truth-
fullness. Did she gave me the
right information? Oh I am an
idiot why I did not accompany
her? Even just outside her house
that I may wait for her again the
same time and place

Scanning the directory for the
number of her school seems an
ordeal.Now the real test if she
is there? If not it’s everything
lost I am an idiot. I dial that
lucky numbers, Alas! the opera-
tor answered “can I help you”?
Requesting that I be connected
to a certain lass by her name
and she said

A moment please Bingo! ! !
She is there that lovely beauty-
ful lass is true. I am sure it’s
love it must be love we talked
over the phone and that’s it
Everything now has change its
colors to a more beautiful and
brighter ones We counted time,
days, months and years every
moment seems eternity for both
of us

The blissful moments as I a-
dored and loved her so sweet
and happy we were. We seem
to be the only two in this world,
it is great to be alive and in love.
The lovely beautiful lass no man
can ask for more. She is the one
for me. And that 'lovely beautiful
lass' happens to be my wife now!
And I LOVE HER SO!
