Unbearable Beauty

It mattered not about his face nor if he had a face at all I couldn't eat, couldn't think short breath, blank wall Studder seems to me the only language to master now I'd rather die than let him see sweat drips in my brow I crossed my fingers hard as he passed close today Praying he wouldn't speak. I wouldn't know what to say How could I explain this pointless buckle in my knee? When all there ever was...This Stranger I did see!

Reminds me a bit of the Girl from Ipanema; each day as walks to the sea she looks straight ahead not at me. Sometimes it hurts just to think of the possibilities and shyness takes over the ego.

Beautiful. I love rhyming poetry. It's as pleasant to me as harmony in a good song. This is a good song.
