Concerning A Certain Someone

Now this poem was written a few months before "A Pair". I just happened to come upon it after "A Pair". This was another (the first actually) poem/ present for Alyssa. We both worked at the same movie theater where we live, and they had a Secret Santa thing going on in December. Everyone drew a name and had to get a gift for that person. So when it was my turn to draw, either by luck, fate, or some preternatural force, I drew Alyssa's name. I had no idea at first what to get her, but at this time I had a mad crush on Alyssa, so I thought why not write a poem for her. And I set out to do just that. I had had it written for a week or so, and was noodling on my guitar when a little fingerpicked progression formed. I just haphazardly began to sing to it, and the words flowed perfectly.
The time then arrived to give her the song, I accompanied it with a nice candle and a mix CD of showtunes. I hadn't heard anything from her for a few days about it. I later learned as we became much closer, she didn't know really how to thank me. She says its the best gift anyone's ever given me. That really makes me feel awesome to be able to do that for her. The poem is posted below, and you can listen to the song here, www.myspace.com/theendisnigh123

"Concerning A Certain Someone"

Here you come in tap shoes, like an angel so sweet
Floating across tile, it is your smile that I meet
Just seeing you brings warmth to my soul
But when I embrace you, dear friend, I feel whole
Your voice it rings like Elysian halls
Cascading through the theater right across from the mall
Melodies seem sweeter, when sung from the soul
Hearing your song, dear friend, I do feel whole
A person like you I’ve never met before
So sweet and so humble and never a bore
Your gift of light, sweet girl, it must come from the soul
Because when I see it, dear friend, I feel whole
Your the epitome of wonderful, the definition of sweet
I await your arrival, girl of light, with your winged feet
Of your rhapsodical choir, and the love that you dole
Cause dear sweet friend of mine, it makes me whole
