PROMPT ~ Eleven Hours

ELEVEN HOURS

by John Yeo

The feeling came through like a bolt from the blue

The first hour passed quickly, the idea was exciting 

My mind resonated with love through and through.

During the second hour I decided to approach you

I hesitated for the third hour, your love was inviting

The feeling came through like a bolt from the blue.

The long fourth hour my feelings hard to construe 

As the fifth hour arrived and left like lightning 

My mind resonated with love through and through.

Then came the sixth hour with my thoughts askew

Melding into the seventh the idea so enticing

The feeling came through like a bolt from the blue.

Hour eight I stopped thinking yet the time still flew

On the ninth hour with the fires of my feelings ignited

My mind resonated with love through and through.

Hour ten and my confidence just grew and grew

Your reply came through like a bolt from the blue

At the eleventh hour I knelt down and asked you

My feelings resonated with love through and through.
