Love Poem: Quiet Attraction

Quiet Attraction

‘Quiet attraction, you’re overwhelming elegance;

all I could do was sit there,

blushing could you tell?

No chance in moving just to re-think.

The wanting of being elsewhere,

I needed one more look before I left;

got the feeling you wanted that too.

Sadly just to many people blocked the way,

turned around, head down due to having no view of you.

Will next time be more difficult?

Awkwardness in a room full of people,

now your work colleagues becoming aware,

it is not so quiet now.

Making tales in my head,

multiple versions of the way we could meet

but need of seeing you someplace else without eyes watching,

without the heat of embarrassment waiting,

for these thoughts to be said.’
