How
Leon A. Walker
How did she know
That my eyes had fallen upon her
Leaving me in longing
A seeming desperate eternity
How did she feel
As I sprinkled rose petals in her path
Leaving me imagining
That she was lost in distraction
How did she simply smile
When I offered first breathless words
Leaving me perplexed
Switching off the sparkle in her eyes
How did she wait
As I paced the floor of my mind
Leaving me sequestered
As she orchestrated my suffering pangs beautiful
How did she decide
To drag me into her loveĀ“s lake
Leaving me eternal benefactor
Of shelter within the warm cocoon of her soul
