• Once your eyes focus
    shock suffuses
    along with adoration.
    Your face turns a
    dark shade of a
    lovely red.
    You wobble around
    and feel like gelatin.
    To come in contact,
    sets your soul
    On blazing fire.
    You can only perceive
    that gorgeous necessity.
    You think it is
    unanimous ecstasy,
    compassion
    and deep interest.
    As if it were only
    you there to see it.

    But it is not.

    There are others
    you just do not
    pay attention to.
    And you then realize,
    that essential
    is only the first,
    or second.
    Whatever your
    past has been.
    And that it is not true.
    It is only a dim sensation

    that slowly

    drifts

    away.
