Seconds of Subtlety
7:00 AM
The trodden path situates just beyond my seeing.
The static equilibrium sets below; unmoving.
My eyes landed to where it usually wanders,
And after a nanosecond, it wasn't my eyes' usual spot anymore..
Your existence placed a magic-like trance that my sight cannot yonder.
Aye, it's not my eyes's but your beauty's to marvel for.
I looked at you, pupil to pupil, iris to iris.
My heart discerned you, veins to veins, arteries to arteries.
1, one and a half.
2, two and 3/4.
3, I cannot breathe.
4, I almost believed.
5, I looked down, embarrassed but relieved.
Did my eyes again deceive me?
Or just my heart trying to lure me?
Why did I actually see him for?
Just an inch and less than more.
My heart was wrestling with its cage, compelling for its freedom.
So I tilt my head up for a second time with my soul so fearsome.
And saw him...
Glancing still at me.
Oblivious of the menacing belching noise from vehicles.
Unconscious of the 'someone' so plain he unknowingly tickles.
1, my heart's bursting.
2, he's stare could slay me in shame.
3, his eyes are bewitching.
4, and are impossibly killing.
5, where am I?
6, where did his looks take me?
7, my shyness prevailed
So I lost him at 8.
My heart was wrestling with its cage, compelling for its freedom.

5, where am I?
6, where did his looks take me?
7, my shyness prevailed
So I lost him at 8.
I looked up the third time, but
He was driving away---
Seething and beautifully far from where my eyes could go beyond.
He was setting away.
Still not knowing.
Still incognizant of me.
Still unaware of the galvanized heart craving down against his own.
