A Strangers Glance

a moment in time...a chance meeting

The rain glittered on their chilled skin
As it sparkled like a fine diamond dust
A white hot raging fire blazed in their eyes
An undeniable and unspoken exchange of lust

They were but strangers to one another
A mere chance passing on a crowed street
He was drawn to her presence quickly
The scent of her was strong and sweet

She could not avoid his direct gaze
When he pinned her down with a glance
He wanted to reach out to touch her
Yet he could not make his body advance

The skies responded with a deafening roar
As the lightening split open the clouds
He started toward her with determination
But she had melted into the lively crowd

Author's Note

in the blink of an eye one finds an undeniable attraction to another and in the next blink they are gone
