At first eye and eye… A brief exchange, vacant. But fleetly discreet a spark; Of recognition – where? Of familiarity – why? Of acknowledgment – perhaps. Acknowledging what…? Then a swift turning of the head, Eyes searching… A false step, stumble, a crash. OUCH! That hurts – Rubbing a bruised temple And burning under the baleful stare Of a growling giant I croak…``Sorry…’’ and move on. Mind searching. Nebulous feelings, enfeebling. Heart searching… Then delirious sensations, a dizzying spell Starts tingling with my nerves, Once more I turn, Scanning… But all I see are unfamiliar faces. That face…those eyes…that smile! Was it really a smile meant for me? Hours pass, full of dreams, Days flow, in thought filled streams As sweet as warm wine, Bringing back sweet memories Of a flashing moment. Then again, another time; A different place, a new moment. Another look – transfixing Then the same feelings again’ Of recognition And a merry smile, And an imperceptible nod Of familiarity And acknowledgment – My heart lurches, cheering wildly, Inviting an impetuous and capricious spirit That sets my mind whirling with thoughts… What wonders can an inaudible sigh hold? What marvels lies behind misty eyes? A visage gentle and coy. Yes – love, the endless spell of a magical look, a fleeting moment
