Our Alternate Representation

Eyes wide open
This is nothing new

You are not hallucinating
This is goddamn authentic!

Although my eyes
saw you first

My brain had pictured
you momentarily

Then, my mouth
searched for words
to say

But my tongue
was too scared
to move

Maybe there is
a sense in this

Who really knows?

And in the flash
of your swagger

Your spindly eyelids
blinked in haste

Then, I knew
you are bound
to strike a major
chord here

Thinking,
I am poised
to enchant your
mesmerized presence

Yet,
you craved
for my affection

Instead,
I gave you
my attention

But this
provoked
a tension

An alternate representation
of our intentions
