The Glance, Not to be, Deep thoughts

The Glance


A casual glance reaches her eyes

Opening momentarily a window into

The life of a perfect stranger

Entering into her space

Even if only for a second

My mind plays a game

Of past lives and future dreams

With the unsuspecting partner

Romance and love live

For a few moments

In the fantasy fields

Of the mind and heart

Steal another look

And another

Before the invisible touch of attention

Summons her defenses

Too late ...

Her eyes shoot back a glance

Speaking a language

More powerful than words;

I know your game,

And your gig is up.


Not To Be


I've felt that emotion before

So the heart says to the head

But the head says no

It is not to be

The hands say yes

But the fear says no

The air smells sweet

And clouds replace the ground

but the head says it's time to go

The feeling is so familiar

Any yet something isn't right

The heart says yes

but the head takes flight


Deep Thoughts


Deep thoughts slow down

the essence of being,

unwinding the driven clock

that ticks our lives away

Sharing the journey within

provides respite and solace

to a lucky pair who

can reveal their inner souls

Connections of the mind

are footpaths to understanding

for it is the journey of two

that creates true meaning

So come with me on this

most pleasant of journeys

take my hand and wish the world away

as we discover the inner beauty

locked deep within our thoughts
