Yellow-Haired Girl

By Peter Scott

I saw you first
From the edge of my eye
Bursting with young exuberance
And joviality
It was the blonde hair
Yearning to be left in itself
That caught my attention
Signaling the eye
Like a hailing flag
Draped from a child’s lemonade stand
Personable
Caught in the midst of business
Yet still able to smile
And ring with youthful passions
While nervous for acceptance
Oh, I accepted you
Played upon a wistful cord
Visualizing the concept
Of living my life
With a stranger I had met
Mere moments ago
And although my flights of fancy faded
You piqued my curiosity
Became the focal point
Of a night
Never meant to be
Stranger still
I was not alone
A graceful woman
With an endearing reflection of youth
Flirted with the concept
Too!
What fortuitous nature
I fervently thought
Choosing my path
How never to say “no”
Without whispering “yes”
One of a trickier game
Getting your address
Could I lose this opportunity
Must I flee this enigmatic girl?
Open in her feelings
Closed in her presence
And the strange possibility of a relationship
Almost like I had known
One day we would kiss in the light
Of fortune’s myriad eventuality.
