It's unexpectedness took me by surprise.
No lingering glance;
a touch of eyes
through a sea of heaving bodies
oblivious to my discomfort.
Then, a furtive glance sustained.
Adonis personified
mirrored in a simple smile,
emotions welling
visible through shortened breath.
Timpanic music in chest and ear
Blood rushing to extremities.
Logic displaced
and in the vacuum
the words of Keats and Byron appear.
Too soon perhaps to call this by that name
that frightens some
drives others to despair.
But be this love, or lust in love's disguise
It's unexpectedness took me by surprise. |
