Love's Messages Sapphic Stanza

LOVE'S MESSAGES Hunted fiercely through the eye attacking ragg'ed crowd of din-- Sorted swiftly through the stone cold features--haggard face by haggard face-- Fought gut fear -- he’d read love’s secret message wrong again; Joy-stunned He glimpsed the boot clad foot that led her floating from the train….

Thanks, Drake. I like the ending, too. Took me longer to write the last line (days) than the rest of the poem. I knew what I wanted to happen, just not how to say it....from one who has read love's messages wrong so many times, I wanted a character that gets it right! Glad you enjoyed it!
