Oh My! Poem by Jack Kennedy

You blushed first
I Followed suit
Your smile started it
My words flamed it
You, standing nigh
Me, with rash spirit...oh my!

Your voice had heart
The words soft, clear.
Hands in motion, touching.
My gaze reflected in your eye.
Leaned in to whisper, lips to ear,
Your scent....oh my!

Your name felt natural to my tongue
You said mine, your expression wry.
Did you have a beau? You said no... 
Was I spoken for? ...No, with a sigh
Blush again, smile again...oh my!

Brunch on Sunday, you wearing rose red.
A corner table, quiet words spoken
'not loving you today'...
coyly you said with wrinkled brow and tilted head.
I begged...tell me why?
'heart twice broken'...Oh my!

'The first when I was ten...'
 Gave me a locket then said goodbye,
  says...he now loves ' Olivia Wren'
  In my pillow for a two hour cry...oh my!

 'The second time...well, I was older then.
 Took me to prom, gave me his ring
 Told me he loved  me'...IT happened again...
 Held hands with ' Lolita' on a weekend fling.
 Heart broken..told him 'goodbye'...oh my!

Did you forgive that fickle child..Did he mature?
Did he see the treasure mirrored in his eye?
Hands on table, fingers intertwined...
Was he destined to be your legal love De Jure?
Or did you forever tell him goodbye? ....Oh my!

'Not seen that boy in many years....
But the man he became...I won't deny
Makes coffee in the morning...
Gently wipes away my tears...
He's the moon and the stars in the sky'...Oh my!

I blushed first, you followed suit
So happy that you're in my life
That you didn't set the bar too high
so honored that you're now my wife...
The treasure in my eye...Oh my!

'Your spirit inspires me
has always kept me close...
You are the roots, I am the tree
Both the thorn and the rose...
But this, I can't deny..
I'm  so in love with you... my guy!
Oh My!
