First Glance

By Invisible Poet •
I sat there upon my stool
Conversing with a childhood friend
explaining the world to be so cruel
but to me an angel did the world send
at first glance
she is no more than a young lass
but her eyes trap mine in a deadly dance
and her smile shatters my walls like glass
in a few smiple words
this girl knows me better than a close friend
she sets her emotions free like birds
her happiness comes forth true without pretend
unable to interpret my own emotions
i make a hasty retreat
to have feelings for her is an unheard of notion
ah but the thoughts ring in my head so sweet
