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.
