everyday
on the subway train
and her feminine allure
kept driving
me insane.
She would wear
a different outfit
5 days of the week
but it was her mysterious
dark sunglasses
which made me weak.
This commute to work
was revealing
another side of me
and here
was a beguiling woman
I just had to see.
Behind those shades
of impenetration
what would I find?
My thoughts
were obsessive
and controlling my mind.
So I swam
upstream
to an imaginative place
for a meeting
of kindred spirits
face to face.
You see
I habitually wore
sunglasses too
and to meet someone
like her
was too good to be true.
Could she
finally
be my long lost love
in saving me
from this watery grave
as I look up above.
In an unguarded moment
I exposed
the truth.
She stared at me
silently
for the startling proof
and behind
my sunglasses
I concealed no lies
in hoping
she also had
dead fish eyes.
