Poem: Love

2 0 0
                                    

The fleeting glimpse
Lifting of eyelashes
Lit by the morning sun
Toward a stranger
Across the bus
The street
The town
Vanishing
All
Of a sudden
Your heart stutters
Your jaw clenches
Your throat closes up
And it vanishes
All of a sudden
A candle
Blown out

The slow
Steady winding of a clock
The stares
Sighs
Dreams
Down the stairs
Red heels
Fiery eyes
Swishing dress
Sweeping the stairs
All of a sudden
Gut wrenching
Realization
Exclamation
Heart pounding
Eyes wide
Gasping

The unshared
Unbearable
Heart crushing
Collapsing
Failing
Oblivious
Impossible
A sidelong glance
A long sigh
Brushing it off
When gazes
Are met
With a laugh
Shrug
Silent tears
Unshared heartbreak
