ANOTHER LOST FROM SIGHT



Glancing into your eyes
Caught in naughty thoughts
Rip away, tearing out
Staring down into black
Gridirons bar vision
Feet shuffling for freedom
My heart wills to fly
Attempt to break for your side

Frozen then distracted
Nothing else matters
But I act interested
In conversation
Across the grid
Duals and jousts
All out war of words
Waged in bought spirits

Gauged in morays
A play to distract
My chance
To glance over the menu
To find you

Unnoticed
I watch your face
Expressive eyes flicker
You are playing the same game
Around another grid

Different actors
You're charming
Without, I only act
With, I dance
Foot shuffle starts
Into monologue
Entangles to tango
I wonder why
I sit caught
Curious thoughts
How long had I stared?

Daydreaming your being
Blinded by visions
Did you already know?
Were you playing our game?
Your smile answers
Thanks for understanding

Again caught
By conversation
Eyes demanded
Awareness taken
You are stolen
My thoughts emptied
Words come to mind
Answers unkind
When I look back
You are gone
