UNFORGETTABLE.A Poem by Terry CollettA MAN CANNOT FORGET A GIRL IN SAW ON A BUS.Unforgettable. The tall girl he saw Getting on the bus And who then sat down Opposite him with Her short skirt and big Black sunglasses that Covered her eyes. That Was last May. He can Still picture her now Today: the short skirt, The blonde hair, the way The big sunglasses Reflected their small Images of him Sitting opposite. She never spoke; just Stared straight ahead her Focus on something Beyond him as far As he could decide. Maybe she was just Avoiding his gaze, Looking over his Head or shoulder, or Perhaps something more Importance caught her Gaze or interest. He’d never know, just Speculation on An incident of The past. But he still Couldn’t get her out Of his mind. Sometimes He thought he saw her On other buses On different days, But it wasn’t, it Was just some who Wore sunglasses the Same or a short skirt Similar in its Colour or design. He regrets now not Speaking or asking Her name or potted Biography in The short time allowed. He’s not seen her since Outside of his mind Or occasional Dream, just the false hope Of seeing her once More someplace with big Sunglasses, short skirt, Blonde hair and her bright Angel looking face. © 2011 Terry Collett |
