She swept in from the gloom
of a dark summer's night.
We all hung around in the shadows,
away from the light.
But as she arrived,
there was such a commotion
Like all had been darted
by a potent love potion.
She had an aura;
she commanded attention
She held our beating hearts
in suspended animation
Many amorous suitors
were overtly attracted
Her immediate space
was suddenly compacted.
Our eyes had met
for the briefest of moments
I didn’t stand a chance
against love-struck opponents.
Standing back, resigned,
I acted nonchalantly
Admiring this beauty wasn't just expected.
It was mandatory.
There was a sudden ruck and a rumpus.
somewhat of a din,
As her circle of admirers abruptly caved in.
She eyed my position
and ambled forward
I couldn’t believe my luck.
What will happen afterwards?
Within just a moment,
She was right by my side
I couldn’t stop smiling.
I was so full of pride.
Those that had pursued her
were so distraught
I hadn’t corralled her,
but yet she’s still caught.
They couldn’t quite understand
my success
They wailed and sobbed,
exercised much distress.
It’s not how you prosecute
loves tender hunt
It’s how you stay back,
yet end up in front
So I’ve captivated her heart
she’s my darling baby belle
I’m just one in a million,
a small brown-haired pipistrelle.
