Ode to Blind Date

Smoke-choked air, somewhere a guitar weeps.

The cerulean centerpiece that is your gaze.

While outside, a blizzard blankets, keeps

The timid away from old Maggie Mae’s.

A glass of hot autumn held lithely in hand,

I survey you, nervously peeling your label

But I don’t mistake it the way others do,

Deadly addictions they can’t understand.

Thrill in our voices, water rings on the table,

Caught in our mutual truths.
