dispersing it in all the places
i would like for you to kiss me
i trace my lips in nude
and fill them in the color red
i think of how the heels i'm wearing
could possibly lead me to your bed
am i ready?
studying my reflection in the mirror
i look for the answer
~the music keeps playing~
satisfied with my outfit
i comb my hair
and this is the part of the song that makes me dance
excited that this could be the night
i am a flower ready to bloom
i have waited for all my life
i am ready to expose my wounds
the song finishes
my hope diminishes
i sit down and look outside
i feel too much inside
it weighs me down
i am waiting but sadness is the only thing that arrives
you don't
you who doesn't have a face, a name
anymore
i don't know.

later that night, 33 minutes to be exact, there was a knock at the door. i opened it and saw a bouquet of lillies --lillies mean, "i dare you to love me" -- and you were standing behind them. i like a good dare.
you took my hand and whisked me away. and the rest is herstory ;)

What an amazing post. It's a perfect blend of sensuality and melancholy.
I love it :)
what beautiful words lorena .. beautiful.
i hope and i shall pray that happiness shall come to ur door in the form of that person. Sadness is just a phase .. if u truley believe .. happiness always follows
Oh, definitely!
Lorena...wear a lot of destiny when you go to New York *chuckles* ;)
Fabulous!
Don't worry.. :) At least you have taken the first step, rest will come soon :)
how bittersweet. that first line--and the poem--is great.
"I feel too much inside". That sums up how I'm feeling right now. Beautiful post, Lorena!

perfect words.
I liked the theme of 'getting ready' in this. Ready for a date, ready for intimacy, ready to blossom, ready to take chances, ready to live, ready to lose, ready to accept the deflowering as flowering.
It isn't possible that a woman like you, was without love! Has you look at around?

mermaid :: pretty comment. i know, i didn't end it well. i thought of a different ending. anyhow, i think it shows my emotional state, once filled with hope and then gone. thanks for your sweet words :)
grumblefish :: i love this. pretty. i like that - lovely defloral arrangement - :)
gugl :: thanks for the sweet words. no i guess my problem is that i haven't looked around as much i should. however, i have a feeling i will have my 'destiny' date soon. :)
The beginning was so hopeful, but the ending so sad!

It was nice to watch as you prepared for this moment. You certainly seemed more animated than this manniquin. Sometimes our minds play tricks on us but you have nothing to fear. He came after all didn't he, your dashing man? With some good sense to bring symbolic flowers too!
sk8rn :: just like love is... :(
gugl :: thanks!!
sirbarrett :: it's actually a painting :) yes, good sense to bring lillies!
fearless i am!
silvermOOn :: thank you :) i appreciate it!
