MIND AT WORK

She stares at me from a distance
A cold silence sweeps the air
Her intense gaze beckoning on me
Faces thrown away at the clash of eyes
Shy she seems towards me
A girl setting standards for herself still
So hard to ignore her presence
Pretty she is
Character the spit of the earth
Friendly they say she is
Yet to discover it I search
All I see I detest
Once seen as a star in the darkness above
Maybe wrong I thought

Her eyes I could stare into all day
The perfect curve of her lips
Unable to resist I must confess
She draws me out of my shell
She brings me back to the world
Giving up on me she does not
A true friend she’s proven to be
Long hours spent with each other
Age though rips us apart
Time passes by and the bond weakens
Hi and bye friends we become
Thought I knew her deeply
A different girl she was
Or so I thought

Love at first sight I said
Not a single word to describe her
An angel sent to me I claimed she was
My own gem in the midst of stones
Treasuring her and keeping her in heart
Tasted not by the men of the world
A rose in a weed field she stands out
Thought we would share a dream of love
A tale I played so long in my heart
Faded memories of the gem bloom the mind
Waiting upon her for ages
Waiting to pour out my heart to her
In her trashcan I find myself
Different she was from the first and second
Or so I thought

The lack of words for the fourth frighten me
Her countenance a different one from the others
Enveloped with love and hidden treasures she was
Let it rain I cried out to the heavens
My heart had found her at last
Yet again I spoke too soon
Taken by another she was
A hanging fruit at the top of the tree waiting to be plucked she seemed
Or so I thought.
