She saw his face across the room,
Her eyes filled with lust and desire.
She saw the way he held himself,
Dressed in an almost erudite attire.
Her heartbeat skipped, and her emotions soared,
She locked his eyes in a tango dance,
She let unspoken words flow between them
Keeping a hold of his mercurial glance.
His gaze foretold secrets held
Stories amassed behind his eyes
She longed to find his hidden truths
And see where his mystery lies.
As they stepped nearer, their worlds converged,
Invisible threads tying their fate
The universe itself seemed to push
To tie them together, to provoke, create.
In a tale of subtlety and subterfuge,
Their eyes on each other, minds occupied,
So onward they moved, together at last,
Bound by a force, with destiny, their guide.
A Mixed Bag 
As always, your beautiful writing inspires. I have been gone off again and then I will pick up the pen. It’s cathartic to write sometimes. I should do it more often also. Lovely to see you my friend… ❤
Alistair! Long time. It’s so refreshing reading from you again after all these years. I hope you and the family are doing well. I love picture you painted with your words.☺️☺️
Thank you Seyi. It felt good to write something that isn’t about tragedy or a book review.
That’s great! Although I was hoping you’ll read my new novella and write review!!😁😁
I’m keeping this, Alastair. And I’m so glad to see you back online, brother! In fact I was thinking about you recently.
Thank you Alejandro. It was so cathartic to write this. I may just see about writing more in the near future. And try not to be gone for 5 years lol
You do write wonderful, Al !
Thank you so much Ute
It’s an absolute pleasure to see your writing again my friend! 😀 You knocked this one out of the park!
Thank you so much. It was weird writing a piece of poetry again after so long.
I appreciate your kind words.
Always! I’ll be hopeful for more, because I’m greedy like that.
I will try my best 🙂
That’s all I’ll ever ask! 😊
