i noticed you the minute you entered -
i wasn't witness to your grand entrance
but i could feel you...
the entire atmosphere
seemed to adjust to you
and i was prone to follow.
i looked for you -
out of curiosity;
a feeling
that you needed to be found.
i saw you
and the minute i collapsed into your eyes
i knew i had found you -
for instantly,
like a rose on the tongue of a summer morning's sun,
i was awakened:
to the ignorance i had once condoned as a youth.
and all at once,
shown such a vision!
seemingly forbidden to,
and justly ignored by,
all those under the age of thirty.
your movement was awkward,
almost clumsy.
but at the same time,
it possessed a grace i could not describe;
a form that in itself
was undeniably beautiful
and made me look
far more the clumsy.
i cannot peel my eyes,
my mind,
my train of thought,
from you before me.
what is it?
whatever it is
i like it.
i dream easier now.
i have seen a heaven
and danced with an angel.
i needed to be found too.  View Others Comments Comment on this Poem |
