The Synchronized Heart Beats Poem by Rose Kanana

He spread the red roses petals in his bed
He lit the candles
He placed two wine glasses by the bedside
He Switched on the radio-the music was soothing
The fragrance -inviting
The mood for the evening was set

He had rehearsed the entire week
On one Knee he was to go a second time
This time he was sure God had send him an angel for a wife Their heart beat seemed synchronized from heaven
They both knew that the Lord had spoken
As children of God they had to obey

The Mood became tantalizing
He rehearsed more and more the lyrics
He was sure her weight could not break his back
He would carry her to where the petals lay waiting
The hour of the princess arrival came
He could smell her fragrance from a distance

The rehearsed moves seemed elusive at this hour of need
His well rehearsed lyrics, sweet words deserted his tongue
He cooed and whimpered like a baby
He went down on the wrong knee
He held the diamond ring in the wrong hand
He developed some goosebumps

The husky voice of the nurse shouted....Next patient please
That is how his day dream ended-Back to work
