Across from the Room

Love at first sight

By EAPublished 4 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read
Love at first sight
  1. Although it had space for seating
  2. And a counter that separates
  3. A cubicle that bounds
  4. Although a Hall
  5. Love juxtaposes many odd things yet makes sense
  6. And a hall is a perfect room
    1. Routine routs the heart
    2. Long labour dulls compassion
    3. The joy of service satisfaction an antidote
    4. Because emotions travel through space
    5. Or How does a smile, sweeten a weary heart
    6. Counters, cubicles not barrier enough
    7. Because emotions pierces all things

    1. Why does it always seem effortless?
    2. Why does it say peace and beautiful
    3. Why does it give you hope and smiles?
    4. May be its its flutters, or its colours may be
    5. Butterflies
    6. I looked up in my cage
    7. My heart fluttered
    8. I saw a butterfly

    1. Heat! It was too cold moments ago
    2. My tie creased though perfect
    3. My space too untidy
    4. My smile too plain
    5. When you beholden your beauty, your love
    6. Everything becomes insufficient.

    1. A smile, no a warm gap toothed smile
    2. A low cut, no ebony locks of beautiful hair
    3. Tidy fingers; no slim exquisite gentle fingers
    4. Spoken words; No melody
    5. Love magnifies
    6. Love beautifies
    7. She is beautiful

    1. Resistance is futile
    2. As glances become stares
    3. Manners are reminded
    4. Love had taken charge
    5. And resistance is futile

    1. A sink-hole opened in my heart
    2. My palms balmed
    3. My heart conscripts, air? No. Fear
    4. Strange fellows Love and Fear
    5. For when you love you fear
    6. You fear love lost
    7. Love conquers fears

    1. It conquers everything
    2. It conquers your heart
    3. Even from across the room
    4. All these turmoil in you as time stood still
    5. It is love at first sight.
