Strangers On a Train (Collab with PinkyPrincess)

by Matthew Schut   Nov 1, 2011


A simple girl...

Sitting quietly on the train,
lost in pensive thought.
Wondering if I'm sane,
if happiness can be bought.

I notice a man in khaki pants,
wearing an intriguing, elastic smile.
He mesmerizes me with a glance;
I couldn't help but notice his style.

I notice how he observes me,
while I secretly observe him too.
His eyes are locked on me longingly.
What is he thinking and could it be true?

Feeling paralyzed, yet somehow I smile
I look away - my cheeks turn rosy pink
I have not blushed and squirmed in a while.
Why is he staring? And why do we feel in synch?

A simple guy...

I find myself staring at this girl across from me
with the cutest smile I have ever seen.
Amazed by her astounding beauty
she's a fairy tale, a beautiful queen.

Our eyes connect, my soul is amazed;
tingles run through my entire body.
I stare at her with a hopeful daze,
my heart is wishing that we could be.

If only she knew I have waited,
I have loved her from the very start.
My eyes are completely fascinated
and she has captured my heart.

An unexpected connection...

His hands are sweating, both hearts racing;
he walks over and takes a seat next to her,
She is unaware of what she is facing.
they're lost in conversation, in a blissful blur.

Minutes turn to hours; commuters enter and leave the train,
Breathless, the two strangers remain seated, with only love to gain.

*Please comment and rate on hers as well!*

    You shall write more often, for there are amazing exquisite emotions poured, alongside the scenes which created a very smooth atmosphere which was supported by the storyboard of the poem.

    Brilliant ;)
