I hope you’d dance

As This moment feels so right

And I want to hold you with all my might

The way your heart beats

The way you pull me close

Makes me want to ride a shooting star

That’s right, baby, you are my star

I want you to save that smile,

And it makes me break into a smile

I hope you’d dance

As this is the perfect night

Let me touch you

the way you want to be touched

Let me touch you

The way I want to be scorched

Tonight will be the night

And there will be no holding back.

Oh! Yeah!

I want you to save your smile,

As it makes me break into a smile

I lie down on the gym class floor

My eyes get teary as look above

The room is acrid, and I know

Yes,I know that I ain’t alone

I see them everywhere

I could never be alone

But I know I know I’m alone

Even though I see you there

Then,

I hear Jamelia sing

“What a girl like me to do?”

I do what you do,

I did what you didn’t

And I know I did better than you

And I ain’t any gym class hero.

After all, in the end,

I’m just a girl

Who is doing what you do

Wanting just a little more

Just little more of a whole lot more

So that you may see

This is all for you

And it has always been only

About you..

Note:

There are moments in life, when you feel like a super star and there are times when you feel like trash. However, only in moments like these, the creative genius in us is at best. These two short poems were written in such moments. The first poem was written when I was listening to Bryan Adam’s ‘Don’t let go’ and the song makes me feel good all the time. I decided cease that romantic energy and convert it into urban poetry. The second poem came into being as I was lying down on the gym floor, feeling tired and completely worn out. The floor was filled with men, some of them I knew and most of them I didn’t and in the corner of my eye I saw the guy I have been having an eye on in recent times. And in that instant I realized that no matter, what I do would might never get his attention. But that is another story..
