July 1, 2009
eyes meet, impulse to stare
the intent gaze intensifies
the chaotic world continues
but all of its frivolities
disappear in the fog
for a five-second span
time and place forgotten
a name, a purpose, a thought
lost in the stupor
lids stay strained
will not dare to blink
every flake of worry
vanishes in the misty haze
heads turn, moment gone.
