Walking down a path,
In my university campus, minding my own business,
Eyes cast Earthwards,
What wonders lie hidden
Under the asphalt; in the gravel,
And the dust?
For that one instant I stray from routine,
And find myself transfixed with my 'sin'
There she was, lit with iridescent flames,
Fluttering about with her friends like a pride flag in the wind,
I had warned myself against this!
But my eyes and heart scorn me for ever thinking it up.
From that moment I was consumed
By the temptation of straying
From my routine, from that which is familiar.
My eyes found it hard to look at the dry,
Rough image of the roada nd my feet... With nothing but dirt.
Lonely and pathetic, walked all over by many everyday.
The alternative; a beauty I couldn't deny!
Not my eyes, nor my heart and soon not even my mind.
Especially when her aura exhumed such a gravitational pull!
It was inevitable that my eyes would follow.
Curious, and satisfied with the art I was presented with.
Yet fearful to meet that curious and mischievous, gaze.
And though my love isn't the same as most,
Though my love is a bit different from the rest,
Though my love for you is muddled by others into an 'other',
My love for you still exists!
It breathes in its silence.
And grows a little everyday in mine.
