Chance Encounter

                                        Chance Encounter…             May 2008                             

                                    Down in the town square
                                    He saw her there
                                    Her lithe, slender body,
                                    Dancing on air

                                    A winter spirit,
                                    Meandering
                                    Floating in stillness
                                    An ethereal being

                                    And he too,
                                    Counting the cost
                                    Of seasons past
                                    And summers lost…

                                    Stood silently,
                                    And gazed into
                                    Those azure, polished
                                    Eyes of blue

                                    Filled with emergency
                                    They flowed
                                    Like a river
                                    Into his own

                                    Could they have known
                                    This day would bring?
                                    A winter that
                                    Would turn to spring?

                                    The rise and fall of her breast
                                    In his eyes,
                                    She made no attempt
                                    To disguise

                                    But drank each others
                                    Hunger in
                                    Making love with their eyes
                                    Like skin upon skin

                                    Oblivious
                                    To rain or hail
                                    They were captured in
                                    A fairytale

                                    It could have happened
                                    Anywhere
                                    Had fate not chosen
                                    To make it there

                                    Call it time or place
                                    Or circumstance
                                    Call it love
                                    Or call it chance

                                    If she’s still out there
                                    Looking for me-
                                    By chance encounter
                                    Please let it be

    Captivating

    Captivating, your use of words and the phrasing are indeed impressive. It makes you feel the passion and sensuality of the moment. Very well done.

    I really enjoyed reading this, as you commented on my poem "Dark Rain." I very much agree as well, you understand how to write in a sensual, beautiful way, your descriptions, your imagery are breath taking! You are an amazing poet! My favorite lines were:

    "Stood silently and gazed into those azure, polished, eyes of blue."

    "But drank eachother's hunger in, making love with their eyes."

    I have fallin' in love with all of it, so beautiful!

      Inspiration comes...

      From the life I've led, from love and loss and consequently loneliness and a sense of failure, and if all of those things make me a good poet, then all I can say is I'm glad it had to be like that...
      Thank you dear friend,
      Love
      John
