STRANGERS MEET

complications? A Brevity Poem

Strangers Meet

 

Each facial expression

A mood to note

What lays beyond

Expressive eyes

Will their gaze alter each?

Or will their adamant spirits linger

Author's Note

complications? when two people meet; do each of them change? or do they "linger"?

I think when two people meet it's like a momentary
disruption.. time stops and put you in a bubble together

It:s all in the eyes. When the eyes meet, you know instantly if there is connection. I don:t think people change, I think they linger in the moment. Interesting thoughts Betty with this piece of brevity.

One of those gazing into the eyes of a stranger. Shall there be a connection and will it linger?! Great thought penned here

Great piece full of suspense. It's usually a situation in which the outcome is not always known it seems.

[Betty Hermelee]

Exactly, sometimes it works, sometime not, that is part of life….
Complicated.. your review always appreciated 😊

What inspires that first exchange - a quick glance, a frown as to why that glance? Is it a specific or fate, chance.. whatever! Think perhaps it has to be the two needing.. needing - to know more - hence the gaze becomes a search. For me, things start from that: the eyes draw me, what follows can be precious/special, a doubt or .. determination to know more. Guess its the ayes that have it, Betty and the negatives who make one turn away. Perhaps. Interesting poem.. a thinker.. thank you.

[Betty Hermelee]

Thank you Emma for your thoughtful review; I believe it's a thinker too.
Best, B.

What lies behind the eyes...look deeply.
That was and is always the first thing I take notice of with a woman.
Sincerity speaks volumes..and cannot hide behind the eyes.

Yes, I believe that’s true, the expressive eyes speak😊

Destiny. Love is about chances. Vulnerability. You have a way with words that draws me in.
