Caught
between the line of affection and logic,
I
want to tell you the thoughts of my heart;
The
ones my mind would dare not reveal.
I am mesmerized by her
smile, and she does not know it.
I
want to embrace your smile and be the cause of its resurface;
To
be the reason of your laughter in the light of day,
And
to drown your frowns under the covers of night;
Furthermore;
and in my intrepid state,
I
want to taste the frame of the curves on your lips,
To
soothe its sorrows away,
To
preserve the contours of your smirk.
I am mesmerized by her
eyes, and she does not know it.
I
want to stare at them without the bashfulness of my diffidence,
To
glare at their green surface and understand their unspoken word;
I
want to get lost in their colloquial translation,
So
that I may learn of the language of origins
And
see the soul that hides beneath the skin of your façade.
I am mesmerized by her
thoughts, and she does not know it.
I
want to peruse through your mind and interpret its creation
To
understand the attraction that challenges my own
With
every scripture, with every word;
I
want to find the balance of the importance in your deliberation,
To
unravel the value of your train of thought,
To
enlighten perspectives; to add to your worth.
I am mesmerized by her presence,
and she does not know it.
Would
I betray my fragility for the cause and effect
Of
clarity in confusion,
Or
would I keep the silence vivid
As
the songs of my intuition whisper gently
That
my words should weigh upon the livid
And
keep their secret strong?
I am mesmerized, in
silence, though I think she already knows.
I
was the man of leisure – the urban explorer and the connoisseur of the streets. I was the “Jack of all Trades”; I was a young
Flâneur. The streets were my element – the energy of the crowds became my flesh,
and the scenes of the city became my sight.
I was eloquently simple; I was the quiet observer. I was the unit and the detached that played
two roles – “The Man of the Crowd” who would adapt to the alienations of a busy
conurbation, and “The Invisible Man” who would hide in plain sight.
