No Limits on Imagination!

And today once more
There is no sign of her
I should ask the waitress
But what would I say
“Have you seen that girl?
She was here a week ago
The girl who was sat there
In that easy chair
The girl with the chestnut hair
In a pixie cut, have you seen her”?
How ridiculous would that sound?
She would think me mad
Or worse a stalker
Maybe if I told her about her smile
A smile to brighten the darkest day
Or those green eyes
Hypnotic and mesmerising,
Or that soft velvet laugh
But no I would just sound creepy
So I order a coffee instead
And sit in her corner
Drinking my coffee
While pondering my insanity
“Do you mind if I join you”?
A voice halted my musings
It was her, my quarry
She was here and she was speaking to me
“Absolutely, please do”
I replied rather pompously
“I love this corner” she said
“I like to sit and watch the world go by”
We exchanged a smile
But now she was actually here
I was speechless and my head was spinning
And I felt a little guilty
For stalking her like prey
Then, in a soft easy tone
She spoke again, which put me at my ease
“Didn’t I see you in here last week?”

I'd say a great poem. This is the kind of stuff that always seems to be all a dream when you're on the go with all the hustle and bustle of everyday work and life. This is the stuff some of us run from, but others run off of, that somewhere out there, there's a person who will light a spark, and that it's likewise for that same person towards you too. Well, at least that's how it is for me. As soon as I started reading this, I was instantly caught up in it. Is it because I can relate to the same thing? Or is it the...feeling in the poem itself? Whatever it is, it's gotten to me, and I have to say how much I love it. Great job Biggus! I cannot wait to read more from you!
