Don’t Blink
Or you may miss it,
that sudden blinding light
of attraction that slips
unknowingly into your iris
as she lets her lips twist
slightly upwards when your hands
accidentally collide for the first time.Everything is but a thread
of moments intertwining
rapidly.Don’t blink or you could lose
that small whisper of a second
the static hopping off fingertips
as you hand her a drink
smiling at her in a brief moment
that could alter your years.
