Line of inquiry: “as we passed her she did wilt which caused in us sense of guilt since our stance perhaps did cause to put her heart’s joy on pause though we’re gentle, not hostile we diminished her soul’s smile since our aura as she viewed scent of love did not exude” ----------------------------------------- captivating my every illusive thought. I detected sadness in her lovely eyes. the silent glances between us sought. her gaze was directly at me, I realize. I imagined the scent of her perfume. all other sound completely faded. she softly smiled across the room. my soul, she had blissfully invaded. my heart beat reached a crescendo. gladly I would be her slave for life. a result of her innocent inuendo. I could imagine her becoming my wife. from so far, looking down at her hand. her wedding ring shone to my dismay. her beguiling look made me understand. she smiled, turned and walked away. vanished from sight, never to be seen again. into my loving mind she often sneaks. wishing to see her, have no idea when. its louder than words, when silence speaks.

The scent of love did not exude, his perspective for the contest is an interesting one, yours came out seamlessly Wendy. Love at first sight. Effortlessly rhyming, it leaves some hope in the end? A joy to read more poems from you.

oh Jay, we ladies can be guilty of that too. I didn't realise until my husband had a stroke, just how much I relied on him. Thanks for your kind words. As always they are appreciated.

Written from a male perspective, very nice. He took her glance the wrong way but he'll never forget her

Well he took it as an inuendo, Tom, but I tend to think it was quite unintended and that he read more into a friendly look than was intended. I guess that happens in different ways to all of us at times. Thanks for taking the time to read my humble attempt and for commenting.
