ROSE LIPS

An unusual encounter

ROSE LIPS

 

A pale gray face of deep expression

Yet with a notion

Vivid red-orange hair

Thick and sexy

One side overlays her forehead

 

Color wheel outfit

Camel coat

Green sweater peeks out at the neck

Green and plaid scarf

Rose lips, bottom faintly unfurled

 

He observes all this attraction

With a peculiar smile

As he crosses a busy street

Her purse slips off her shoulder midway

He dashes to retrieve it

As he trails her to the curb

 

After a brief encounter of discomfort

He endeavors to begin a short conversation

Closer, as he peers into her ice blue eyes

Her rose lips part without a word

He smiles, she in return, nods

He notes her resplendence, novel

Unlike….

 

She alights with her eyes

Lips shift without tone

Merely short breaths

He understands….

Fetches her arm

All the way, the sun catches their shadows

As the two vanish down the sidewalk
