Late Start Ritual (Sestina)

The morning begins with the rising sun.
The couple ventures out to get a drink
by the use of a compact blue car.
The girl feels used and played like a toy
and sees the future filled with tears--
over the horizon, a looming silence.

Not even a minute into the ride, the silence
consumes the atmosphere inhabited by the sun
leading the girl to break down into tears
for what the boy thinks is just a trip for a drink,
not knowing the girl feels like an abused toy
whose only purpose is to drive the car.

Acting as a shield and barrier, the car
protects the girl from utter and complete silence
with the tick-tick-ticking engine from a toy
driving straight towards a raging sun.
An innocent drive to get a soda drink
has now begot hot hurt and cold confused tears.

"Why are your eyes brimming with tears?
You aren't fit to be driving a car,
Just park here, and we can get a drink,"
the boy said to break the still silence.
The girl shook her head. With disapproval the sun
frowns and looks down unto the battered toy.

"No. I don't know why you care for a toy.
You shouldn't have to deal with tears,"
cried the girl, once as bright as the sun.
Putting the vehicle in park, she stopped the car.
"I don't want to sit in silence,
We came here to get a drink

So let's go get some Dr. Dew to drink,
Don't you dare think you are a toy.
Stop leaving me alone in this silence.
Stop crying. You're beautiful. Stop the tears,"
the boy said pulling the girl out of the car
into the light of the radiant sun.

The cascading tears stopped at the sight of the sun.
His smile broke the silence of the dead car.
Not another toy, the couple went and shared a drink.

I saw him

Under the dark lights pulsating to the crowd,
I saw him.
Peach parfait skin with ferrari black hair,
His haute chocolate eyes pierced my soul.
Recovery was not an option,
My heart was captive to this Calvin Klein chapel of love.
He sent my heartbeat skyrocketing,
Freezing time with his always ascher gaze locked on me.
He had me under his radar within seconds,
My heart racing rubies throughout my body.
The luminous moon illuminated his skin
Giving a china glaze to the slate of perfection.
His very essence, his cool silver ice demeanor
Matched with a paradiso inferno gaze,
A walking contradiction of hot and cold,
Stole my heart and my breath away.
Not a single word exchanged or spoken,
Our destinies intertwined,
The pieces were set in motion.
The love story began when Romeo and Juliet met.
