Angelic Visions
Going down to the town.
Going just to look around.
A lot that’s old. Nothing new.
That’s till I got a look at you.
My heart pounded real fast.
My foot slipped off the gas.
I almost ran off the road.
My brain was twitching like a toad.
I pulled over to catch my breath.
You were the one. My mind was set.
I began to make great plans.
I would make you mine, if I can.
How to start, I wasn’t sure.
All I knew is you were the cure
for a heart doing cartwheels.
Only a lover knows how it feels.
I looked up and you were gone.
Where did you go? I can’t go on.
You must be close. I’ll look around.
Try as I might, you couldn’t be found.
Were you an angel that I saw?
Or my imagination having a ball?
I doubted then that you were real.
I had to stay on an even keel.
I had a drink & headed for home.
Guess I will remain all alone.——————-R. W. Johnson—–(2012)
