An unexpected focused glance of affection

Optics offer an intense gaze 
    eerie when caught 
         thoughts permeate 
  in one’s mind absent of knowledge 
     in quiet corners — warmth 
  of green optics invite
      adventure 

 Excitement furnishes 
      covert intentions
  the woman at the counter 
      cannot see the man 
  two tables away from her 
  as the loose strands 
      from the back of her neck 
  move while the fan oscillates 
      to and fro — in attempt 
  to capture a morsel 
     of slightly above luke warm air
 
   The Saint’s eyes open wide
 with the attention of this woman 
    captures a unique aura 
  between the realms 
      of juxtaposed dreams 

  Upon departure with the bill
in hand with a slight 45 degree turn 
 this bold man reveals himself to her 
    honey silky lips reveal an intention 
  not so noble in kind 

  An origin from the Saint’s 
    earlier days — this woman 
 truly unlike any other 
    one who if they believe in you 
       your life is made 
  
 A quick glance of interest 
with a covert slight drop of the head
   to resemble disinterest 
      although the truest heart’s desire
penetrates an innocent 
       and vulnerable soul 

 One which offers exclusively
     the most organic of adoration 
  the Saint a revealed coward 
     who relinquishes an authentic 
  act of expression 

    Regret not in this agenda 
 lack of accountability ensues 
 crossroads of talons 
      once embedded
  in the flesh of the core 
     wounded unable to heal 
  pieces of flesh torn 
      as each hook 
          is slowly removed 

    An ache that requires a piece 
       of wood between the teeth 
    something to release the carnage
        prior to a mended sense  
               of self
