This poem was inspired by my trip to Indianapolis. I pulled imagery from my experiences there in the beautiful city. This is dedicated to my dear friend, Kirsten, who also went to Indianapolis. We had a conversation about something on her bucket list.
She would love to have this amazing adventure with an awesome guy she randomly meets where they pretty much get to do anything (not hookup!) for a night.
It has a movie-esque feel to it and I think it is safe to say a lot of girls probably have this on their bucket list! So here it is. My poem dedicated to Kirsten, other girls like us, and Indianapolis.
It's a whirlwind night
Surrounded by
City lights
Strings of them
Wrapped in limbs of trees
Twinkle
A beautiful monument
Makes it a romantic
Place where I'm glad to be
In this unfamiliar city
The hum of cars pass
By on the brick roads
Of the round about
Conversations float in the air
From people walking around
And I'm enjoying the company
Of a boy from LA
That just bought me ice cream
From a shop across the way
We indulge
We chat
As we sit on the ledge
We pass flirting
Now on the edge
Of a crush
When I so easily blush
He spits out the chocolate chips
Because he only likes the mint
We talk school
We talk religion
He plays it cool
Makes it a mission
To pick on me
To get closer to me
Like any boy that plays games
It was today I learned his name
As I stand before him
I slip my arms around his neck
Our pauses
Longer
Knowing what's next
It's right
It's now
We don't make a sound
We both ease in
To a perfect first kiss
For a perfect moment
On a whirlwind night
Surrounded by city lights
Sparkle & Shine,
Rachel
