Paul Curtis Poet I do not know?

The Very First Look

The very first look,
Little more than a glance really,
Is almost cursory in nature 
Yet seems to be one of recognition
But you are a stranger to me.
So why if that is the case,
When our eyes meet,
Do the hairs stand up?
On the back of my neck
Now my skin is tingling
Like I’m full of electricity
My mouth is dry
And I think I’m actually blushing
I see confusion on your face
Is this the same for you?
Do you feel it too?
Why does a stranger affect me so?
What is this feeling?
What’s happening?
Who are you?
Now you are smiling
You do feel it too
Well, smiling stranger
Is this love at first sight?
Or is it déjà vu

Zzzzz Zzzzz April 28, 2011 at 5:16 AM I believe that love at first sight can happen...trouble is, you don't know until later whether it really is love or just attraction. I remember such awkward days from my youth...long ago! Nice write.
