THE GREEN LIGHT ERROR

This is a poem that came to me after myself and some friend have had similar experiences with the opposite sex. Yes, and when I say experience it had to do with expressions and moods and I'm sure most of us have had similar experiences...

We sometime meet people and lust (we always say LOVE) for them instantly.. Funny enough they respond to us immediately with smiles and winks, this they do even though our approach is more virtual and from a distance.. We then assume it's a done deal, yes, the normal Ghana guy would go like " Afa !!!" ... This normally starts with eye battles when you meet, you keep watching till one person gives up.. And then it would move to smiles and the winks and we sometimes even go to the extend of following and spying on this people, hmmmm, e no be small thing ooooooo.. This is what I call the Virtual World of Communication (VWC).... This then moves to the first one-on-one talk and it's very simple because it's just a " Hi " and a response of " Fine "... With this, one becomes extremely happy knowing the dream is nearing reality..

Just when one thinks everything is alright, you begin to see this person moving with the opposite sex..The painful thing about this is, you sometime think you're even better than that person. I know we all know this kind of feeling... It's not pleasant one bit.. You don't own the person but you still feel so uncomfortable seeing the person with other people, especially those of opposite sex.

This feeling and many more inspired me to write this poem I titled " THE GREEN LIGHT ERROR " . Because you feel its a green light so you can move only to realize you had problems with your sight so you are knocked down by a moving car which eventually results in a "Broken Heart" even though that person was only a fantasy... I hope you'd enjoy this poem..

THE GREEN LIGHT ERROR

She would smile, wink and blow back kisses i give with no delay

This they say are signs of good things to happen

So my heart would beat fast and my minds nose would smell her when she's miles away

Making this feeling naturally priceless so competition sorry, no bargain

Is it her confident classy posture

That has turned me into a burglar, illegally breaking and entering

Stealing glances at every chance

And hoping with her responses we could advance our virtual romance?

Or is it her looks

Or the look she gave me that made me move even though it was red on the traffic light

Making me confuse the traffic light with the lady with height

I mastered courage and approached

But she spoke first saying " Hi "

I responded and said " Happy "

Since from from that day all her burdens I promised to carry

She smiled again and said I just needed someone to teach me how to drive

I said with me, the Sebastian Veetle would come alive

Oh Yes, formula One stylee you would drive

I hurridly suggested we use my box car

But she refused saying we use the one bought for her by her boyfriend, The Jaguar

Just by mentioning boyfriend, this girl has ignited in me a new life filled with sorrow

And this is due to the responded winks, blown back kisses and smiles

Which I term, THE GREEN LIGHT ERROR.
