SEPARATION


My eyes met his,
T’was a flash of bliss.
Arrested in time,
A moment sublime.

With a nod, he drew me close,
In fear, I froze.
His eyes touched me…
His smile caressed me…

My heart went pacing,
My pulse… racing.
My mind was dazed,
My body… ablaze.

I winced, I shook,
I was enslaved by his look.
Then just as imperceptibly he came,
He left…without a trace…not even his name.

Who was he?
I know not.
Wherefrom was he?
I know not.

An imposter? An apparition?
Or was it my hallucination?
His gaze envelops me though he eludes my vision,
Creating complete communion even in separation!

are you kidding me? rhyme in verse is juvenile stuff. in fact, i am trying to kick the habit and try to write non-rhyming verse.
