1st Meeting
Two steps back as you approach,
who is this striking woman of beauty
making her way to my part of the world.
Tripping over myself as I stand up
as if both laces from my shoes were tied together
and feeling as if my tongue was knotting up as well.
Kept my balance & and loosened my tongue from its tie
while getting back to work, for all I know,
she'll walk right by me... until I am
covered by a small silhouette of a shadow
& two tiny feet, with legs, are in plain site.
I stand up, only to eclipse her in size,
but am eclipsed myself but her mere
beauty and captivating greenish-grey eyes;
the kind of look you can't take your eyes
off of, but because of the magnitude of
the beauty, makes you tongue tied & shy.
Eye contact is established and it’s as if I
am placed on a journey, we start talking but
the link made within your eyes has me somewhere
else, "Lost in your eyes" is the best way I
could possible describe what exactly is going on...
such a powerful connection is made and yet,
I need to look away from time to time
without getting totally lost for good.
She carries herself well, from each word
that exits her mouth, with a smile to go with
each laugh, to each lil bounce of her curly hair,
She knows, blushing faces never lie and
that’s all she is seeing in me.
Work is calling and cuts this 1st meeting short,
I say goodbye & watch her walk away,
wanting more, but happy with 1st meetings' 5 mins.
