HELLO STRANGER

Poetry by Shawn Malzahn

HELLO STRANGER

Hello stranger,
How do you do?
Time slows down,
Upon first view.

Your beauty is radiant,
My attention draws in,
I think to myself,
Who is she within?

Is she the type,
Who likes to take walks?
A lady of love,
Who lives what she talks?

Is she the kind,
Full of care and compassion?
A rare soul indeed,
A true gem with passion.

I know not much,
About who you are,
I pray that you’ll tell me,
In time not too far.

Tell me your secrets,
Tell me your sin.
Open your heart,
For me to come in.

If you are willing,
Please don’t be shy.
Let’s find out together,
If I’m your type of guy.

Would you enjoy it,
If I held your hand?
Take walks down the beach,
Dip our toes in the sand?

Would you have fun,
If I made you laugh?
If I made you breakfast,
Or prepared you a bath?

All I am asking,
Is just for a dance.
So what do you say love,
Wont you give me a chance?
