PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Let me tell you about the time I met this woman

there we were, 

my eyes on her, 

her eyes on me,

and lets be real for a moment, 

I was in no way naive,

I could tell from just one look,

that if she came any closer,

I would be just a page in her journal,

and she would be the only character,

in every chapter of my book.

So no; I wasn't fooled,

I knew it was a face first dive,

into a concrete pool,

but the whole way down I was grinning,

because whether or not she was aware of it,

I'd rather take a fall, 

than regret never jumping in at all.

Anyways lets get back to the moment,

I dont know what it was,

and I'm not much for reincarnation,

but I swear, 

that first time I saw her standing there

felt like the thousandth,

something about the way she looked directly back at me,

without turning,

mixed with the smokey light in the bar

and caused the hazel edges of her irises,

seem to catch on fire,

The whole room except this girl dimmed out of focus,

for a few heartbeats,

to me, time stopped completely,

and I dont just mean it stopped moving forward,

I mean It stopped existing,

It was like I knew her always,

the best way I can describe it,

is like finding something,

that you never knew went missing

well I found it, 

I felt it in my bones,

I knew in those first few moments,

regardless of how this ended,

something deep in me had changed,

forever...
