Heart Starter

I admired him from afar,
 watching
 through a window
 of time

our first contact
 bled with the intenseness
 of a crash,
 admiration
 was thrown and seeds
 of contempt grew 

Days went by
 side looks stared
 into the target,
 but disdain and ire
 waned to nothing
 but sparks of ego

the second introduction,
 it bound by the rules
 of Utopian society,
 a new conversation
 of light and song
 of love gone wrong 

Started.

But
 communication
 ceased, memory faded
 touch was lost,
 but again, today
 he said "Hello"
 and my heart
 now thumps.
