Ravings of a Rabid Werewolf - Poetry by Wolf - 17. Night at the Ball

Still playing around with different ways to write as I try to learn this concept called poetry. For better or worse, I am having fun with it.

Nervousness fills me as our carriage rides along,

Not sure what awaits us at the other end.

Will this be a fairytale come true,

Or the unfolding of a grisly horror story?

 

As we arrive at the palace for the night,

I feel the carriage pull to a stop before the grand doors.

In proper fashion, the driver stands at attention,

As our group exits and bids him good night.

 

I take the hand of my fellow prince,

And look up into your adoring eyes.

A flutter in my chest pushes away any doubt,

As I see nothing but happiness filling your eyes.

 

*****

 

My eyes are filled with pride at the sight standing before me,

As you adjust my tie one last time with a smile and light kiss.

Each medal you wear hangs in perfect order on your chest;

The moonlight gleaming off each one like twinkling stars.

 

My prince in his Dress Blues is a sight to behold;

Standing proud in the uniform of a United States Marine.

My tuxedo pales in comparison as we stand side by side,

Yet there is no place on earth I’d rather be.

 

With hands clasp tight, we enter the Marine Corps Ball,

As eyes turn towards us from all over the grand ballroom.

This night it is you that tries to calms my nerves,

While you introduce your boyfriend to your entire command.

 

Nary is a negative word is heard as we dance arm in arm;

Receiving many approving nods from all around.

The few that disapprove keep quiet and brood

Since our acceptance is overwhelming.

 

*****

 

At the stroke of twelve I look around,

Like Cinderella thinking that I should run;

Yet nothing changes and my tux remains,

And there is not even a glass slipper to be left behind.

 

As the night wears on I notice your hand,

And how it occasionally moves up towards your neck.

My smile grows more, if that’s even possible,

As our joined hands rest over your hidden collar.

 

One final dance with my handsome Marine,

And we decide it’s time to take our leave.

We bid all farewell as we go hand in hand;

It’s been a most glorious night at the Marine Corps Ball.

This made me smile. I’m happy to see things are going well with you and your boy. We wear collars with pride for our Sirs. I love that your boy wore his under Marine blues.

Very nice, Wolfie. I'm enjoying you discover your inner poet.  And this one was beautiful in many ways.. the D/s component, the fact your boy is a soldier, the fact you went as an out couple and the wonderful fact that you were just accepted.  Truly wonderful.

Thank you jp :)  It's going very good with him.  Speaking for myself, I'd say the pride is equal knowing that he's wearing my gift to him.  I loved that it was under his uniform as well ;)

Thank you tim :hug: Trying to put the emotion of different events into words has been fun while I try to learn this and my boy gives me a lot of inspiration to write.  Thankfully it wasn't like he was outing himself at the Ball and he is already accepted by the people he serves with.  He did want me to make one correction, and he did say since you're Canadian that you're forgiven, lol.  He's not a soldier, but a Marine (they can be touchy about that description)

Thank you Mike, I greatly appreciate it. :) Only thing for tim to remember is that I'll always joke about something like that, especially with friends.

Thank you as always tim :hug:  I should say thank you for another reason.  He jokingly complained for a while about being called a soldier until I muzzled and cuffed him.  He was happy to have been called a soldier after that. :)
