First Drop

Condensation slowly drippin' down the length of wine glasses
My concentration is slowly slippin' away as the time passes
Preoccupied with your gorgeous smile and lips during our conversations
My mind occupied by future possibilities and hopeful expectations
Brought back to my senses by the sound of your angelic laughter
Still daydreamin' your words might be to the start of my final chapter
The missing piece of every puzzle, the fairytale ending
Finally finding real love in a world full of pretending
How I feel, if it's real your heart will never need mending
Always growing as I'm showing all the love that I'm sending
Writing little song lyrics, sending bouquets of flowers and love quotes
Small surprises like waking in the morning to kisses and love notes
Dancing through life as I write and play you a sweet song
Romancing you right away, convincing you that this is where you belong
Chancing the night's right and since still no part of it feels wrong
Been holding feelings back but feel tonight it won't be too long
Until you see the real man and real feelings that I've constantly tried
Desperately and repeatedly but been unable to hold down inside
But tonight, angel on my left shoulder, temptation on the right
And left just like wrong are beginning to lose this ridiculous fight
So as we toast to a future of nights just like this one that were having
Doing the most to reassure you of a life full of loving and laughing
Reminding you that forever is how long I've dreamed that this would last
Ever since the night that first drop dripped down that glass

Have a Nice Day. :)

Very deep poem. The image of condensation causing a drop to drip down the side of a wine glass is such an original one. I have never seen this used in poetry and to make this the central theme of the poem is simply amazing. I also love how the poem dives to such immense depths, the line, 'Small surprises like waking in the morning to kisses and love notes', being my favorite, and then wraps up beautifully with another image of a drop. Wonderful! Well done and thank you for sharing!

PS: If you are interested and have some spare time, I have some poetry on my blog too. :)

Thank you very much. I will definitely check out your blog too :).
