At a glance

And what do I want?
What will satisfy my eyes,
my heart beat, my mind?

Fractions of seconds tracing lines,
checking for symmetry,
balancing adrenaline to blush,
goosebumps and hush.

Discovering expressions,
smiles and tinges of light,
reflections on your eyes,
greens and blues.

Wounded warrior poet?
manic pixie dream,
elegant 1960's trophy,
what hides in the girl,
in front of me?

And what does she want?
Can I satisfy her eyes,
her heart beat, her mind?
