He alleged
To be awestruck
with the colors of sand

that flowed through my hair
like the water of the nile

Vivid eyes
He named them

Plant Green
Full of life

In the least,
They were

Not supposed
To bluster my composure

I gulped down
My exhaustion

In anticipation of that day

When it came
Furious

I saw her

I knew it would happen
The element of surprise

Now a mere joke

Before you had the opening
I left you
Befuddled

Looked over my shoulder
Once or twice

Simply observing
You told her
Who to be

I chuckled giddily
Mostly to myself

I knew
I simply knew

Life couldn’t get better

She was there
And I was here

at no cost
free as smoke
not able

to be caught
to be seen
to felt

most of all
to be trapped
