Blind Date Poem by Kriztan Rei Palces

First dates are the most exciting
With all the flowers and all the smiling
Where expectations fill the air
The masquerade starts in there

They stared at each other oozing with awe
Doing their best to hide their flaw
Then it begins with the word “hi”
And may end in a long dead sigh

His muscles flex and her eyes blink fast
Starting to like each other’s mask
Said are the words of the sweetest scent
Peacocking is done by the malevolent

Grinning is the one fueled with lust
And sadness follows the one who trusts
For trust makes the first date exciting
And lust makes it so deceiving
