To Chance An Encounter

The sunshine today is warm on my skin but his stare burns deeper Refusing to look does not make me less aware of his maleness I wonder if tomorrow he will come to the street to chance an encounter How can I enquire his name and be discreet but fearless Desire has my thoughts racing and hoping he is a romanticizer Like myself, he desires a chance meeting to be a start of us I like the sound of us, dreaming...perchance I am too eager Tomorrow will be the bearer of my fate, to wait, I can bear more or less Hollow is my fufillment, he is not present in yon window, peeper Together will not be, fate has other plans for this heart and for us Tears fall, heart is exploding, questions...why? Feelings tender... No gentle caress across my face, no tenderness, no masculinity, joyless... For the contest of Iolanda written about the Painting-- A young man at his window.

I seen that painting yesterday...you have cast an excelent veiw of thought here Doris ! Now...what about his thoughts, he seems to be in deep thought staring at her, or is his peering for his thanks for his secure abode and beautiful surroundings ? Great take on this painting Doris !

Very nicely penned, Doris! Wish you good luck in the contest and thank you for your comments: To answer your question: Sometimes I translate my poems from one language into another. I do it both ways either the original version in English or in German or even in Spanish. Have a nice day and keep writing...Gert
