Trails of Missed Opportunity

by keep n touch   Sep 6, 2005


What pleasant weather the day has bestoyed
A smooth breeze trickles up my spine
I notice you, encircled by an atmospheric glow
Your hair floating about, as if it was weightless

with every graceful step hence
My body's quivers grow more intense
Yearning to come in your acquaintance
As the sand shifts under your sandals

If I merely am blessed in your presence much longer
I know my head will float off into the clouds
My self-control, a perceptible bother
I must approach you with the most precise utterance

Casually, I walk closer, in a most demure style
Hoping my excitement is inconspicuous
You flashed me the most deafening smile
Instantly, I'm entranced in your heavenly accent

While in my tranquil state of affection
You passed by me rather passively
I had carelessly missed my chance for perfection
Like an angelic mirage, you disappeared

She left me one thing, nonetheless
Something to remember her by
In that calm breeze, surrounding my lack of finesse
Her flowery perfume encroached the air
