A Brief Encounter


He sneaked his way into the Lecture 
Hall like a thief,
His greetings were brief,
Glancing around the room with a friendly 
smile, he then rested a long gaze upon 
her face,
She felt uneasy and thought he might
be in the wrong place.

A while later, he boldly slipped a note 
into her hand, with a one-eyed wink,
Reading it made her cheeks turn rosy 
pink,
She dashed to the water cooler and
took a long drink,
Her brain froze, and for a moment 
she couldn’t think.

To her surprise.they were paired 
together, and now sat staring at 
each other; neither spoke, and neither 
looked away,
Fate’s fire ignited and was ablaze,
In a world of their own, their eyes 
locked in a silent gaze, 
It seemed Destiny was at play, ensuring 
them that today was their day.

In the hush of that moment,
 the hearts of a naive teenager and 
the cool-as-ice young stranger 
entwined,
And as they parted and joined 
the flowing tide,
Embedded in their memories, 
the magic of their brief encounter 
will forever reside.

Sparks of love were ignited in two pairs of eyes. Such teenage romantic moments are quite plausible. Though it happened to be a brief encounter, it will be etched deep in the core of their hearts for long. Love the way you allowed the spark of emotion to grow into a 'conflagration'.

I enjoyed this poem which has a very innovative rhyme style and interesting story. It leaves me anticipating a possible future romance once the underage lady is grown. Your poem shows superb talent.
