Serendipity Of Time

Listen to poem:

When my eyes meet your gaze 
The first eon in surprised time, 
Brushing into each other in a cafe 
The earth somehow wakes,
It knows your flesh 
embracing our marrow's warmth 
more encompassing than life's fate 
that my breath stumbles into ticks
of nightfall's irrepressible  lightness.

You are received by my body
as much as sky's flame--
Perhaps more 
As we breathe the same wind.
Could this be a new fondness?

...Yet raw this earth that wraps us incorporeal
 like stardust itself ;
And nameless as shadows
 in deserted moonlight,
nick of time freezes without notice
aligning our birthright with destiny
and like the clockwork of serendipity

 no one dares speak.

Nette, I like the way you describe the attraction we sometimes develop for one another. It's funny that this occurs and can become so significant for all of us. It's also a fun topic. As you understand body language and if you appreciate the human body as an art form, life seems like being in a museum all the time. It's really quite something for people with strong visual sensitivity. I've not spoken about this much really, but a few people have this quality. It's nice to have really...smiles!
