Poem Title:
Poem
He approaches fast We bump - silly heart beats wildly Him - lost in thought- No word of apology We pass each other He approaches fast Eyes so blue - elicits soundless sighs He stares - out into distant skies We pass each other He approaches fast Sensual lips - beg a moonlight kiss A dropped beat- my heart does miss We pass each other He approaches fast New day dawns - new courage found Courage flees - from lips no sound We pass each other He approaches fast Gold tipped streaks - on hair of brown He neither smiles - nor does he frown We pass each other He approaches fast Hint of down - on a manly chin Imagining stroking it - I hide a grin We pass each other He approaches fast Convinced he’ll smile - eye contact meet He hurries by - I concede defeat We pass each other He approaches fast Smile he does - chatting on the phone Pangs of hurt - He’s not alone We pass each other He approaches fast I hurry on - with eyes downcast A bump I feel - and look aghast I look into the bluest eyes My heart it stops I groan I die A quizzical smile plays on his lips Oh beating heart that soars and dips And so this moment I shall seize Forever in my memory freeze We stand and grin- no words to utter Still ----We don’t pass each other Footnote: School over and kids thronged a mall, where I sat sipping my coffee in a café. I couldn’t help overhearing some high school girls, loudly talking about their teenage crushes which prompted me to write this amusing poem. I’m sure parents of teenage girls the world over will undeniably identify with. Oh!! And of course Taylor Swift was one of their favourite singers.
