Moon Beams Poem by Yohan Confectioner

I hadn't seen her before.
Worse, I hadn't noticed her.
How had I not?
But I finally did.

And I gazed in continuous thought.
All the while gazing.
Un-shifting focus.
As a hawk's eye.

That is, until the gaze followed back.
The same way it went.
I glanced away.
Perhaps I overdid it.

In a while again.
I turned to her.
Fixing my gaze concentratedly.
With un-battering eyelids.

That is, until the gaze came back…again.
I held for a moment.
Scanning, searching.
Then drifted my piercing eyes away…again.

We had seen it.
She had seen me.
And me, her.
The falcon and the falconer.

Not knowing who's who.
I hadn't found out her name yet.
There were too many of the same race around,
Perhaps gazing or not.

She roamed here and there.
And so did i.
Then I roamed away.
And lost gaze.

That is,
Until I turned and saw,
The same piercing gaze
Penetrate me.

So a time came to sit.
In joyous song and exultant celebration.
She took a seat, And saw me walk
Towards where thither sat.


I walked towards.
All the while staring at my feet.
Until I was close enough
To make eye contact again.

And so I did.
And she was looking at me.
I kept gaze. And for firsts,
I gave a sheepish smile.

Perhaps an un-needed move.
Instantly she looked away, afar.
And I went and sat a few yards behind,
all the while anticipating her thoughts.

This felt nice.
The feeling of gazing,
Known gazing,
And known gazing back.

The music started.
In tune to the beats my heart played.
Music lent poetry
A greater grace.


How one could be satisfied with looking on another.
And feeling those looks hit back at u.
Almost innocently,
Yet menacingly, daringly.

She was right before me.
I could see her short hair.
Her legs crossed in front of her,
And her hands keeping her legs together.

Perhaps these twin minds
Were travelling the same road.
Not sure to where it led.
We sat. mindlessly in full thought. But about what?

It was simple. This constant playful gazing.
I had not her name,
Place of stay or any of the sort.
Yet, we were racing together at the time.

The next time I gazed,
I got a wild, blazing look.
I was now conscious of my walk,
Talk and all movements altogether.


But I was never conscious of where I looked.
As I looked on her and Stayed Fixed.
My mind was talking to hers
And it would soon tell me what hers said.

We didn't have anything to say,
And I guess it was better that way.
Sweet, simple. And surely sensuous.
She got up and walked away.

I swallowed hard,
Not knowing what her mind told mine.
I saw her walk back, behind.
And far from the folk.

I hadn't noticed her walk.
So unimaginably elegant.
I could simply stare
At her walking.

Soon she was out of sight.
My mind told me I must follow.
And mechanically I did so.

There was a garden back there.
Lonely and still.
Wild almost.

And there she sat,
Lightly swaying
On a swing.

Her neck was turned to her left.
And this time
She gazed somewhere else.

I walked into the garden.
My mind had taken full control now.
I took a few more steps,

And when my steps
Could stay silent no longer,
She turned towards me.

In the receding light.
I noticed her neck; voluptuous.
But I would go for her gaze.

We stared a while, boldly,
Unconscious to everything around.
I could stare at her till time decides to stop.

I suddenly got conscious of my walk
Which had almost stopped by then.
She had let go of the chains.

And gracefully, elegantly
And in breathtakingly slow motion
Stood up and walked to where I stood, transfixed.

My mind immediately told me
To move forward too,
And so I did.

As we inched closer, Our gaze got bolder, sharper.
We were soon all too close.

I could hear her deep breathes,
All the while not moving my gaze.

I saw her eyes travel down to my lips.
The world stood still for a moment.

And then back to my eyes.
I knew I was going to kiss her,

And she knew she'd kiss me too.
To taste those rosy lips and take her by the hips.

To hold her close
And take in the love:

Unreal, and fantastic.
But we hovered, still gazing.

And almost too soon And way too suddenly

I was propelled forward.

I woke up and looked around me.

There I lay on my terrace.

The moon being the only Being

Gazing down at me.


Oh!
