Rush hour, crowded subway
Standing room only
Two hands reach
And meet
On the same handle
Apologies swapped
Eyes lock
Smiles form
A kindling fire is born
Between two strangers
Train lurches, balance subsides
Two bodies collide
Pardons exchanged
Fanning the flames
Of this kindling fire
Sparked by destiny’s fate

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

A fated encounter! Very hot! Especially when train itself causes them to collide. I especially love your subtitle too. Pleased to meet you. I'm Bill. I've subscribed to you. ⚡💙⚡
Eyes lock - Smiles Form- A kindling fire is born. Love is magical indeed!!
Seems magical. Lovely poem.
Interesting take. Love at first doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's magical. You painted that well.
