No Stranger Danger - An original poem, the first one I have written in probably 15 years.

This one's different.

I am going out tonight.
To meet someone at twilight.
Whom I've never met.
One who's caught my eye,
In an interesting net.

My senses are wakened.
My stomach's in a knot.
But just like my eye was,
So my mind been caught.

Curiosity grips me.
It combats the fear.
I'm ready too early,
Want to get things in gear.

Don't talk to strangers,
Is the advice often doled.
But I feel no stranger danger,
And this makes me feel bold.

I'm excited for the evening,
And in a rush to begin.
The only question remaining,
Is how will it end?

I know only one thing,
And on that I'm assured.
That this one, feels different,
That this one, feels pure.

So I'm away to the night,
Willing butterflies to be still.
May the stars wish us their luck,
Just for a moment, fulfilled.
