TITLE: Across the Room
TYPE: Free Verse
CRITIQUE: Yeah
OTHER: I wrote this while at a coffeeshop. [: It was the first night I read at poetry night and, haha, I wrote this about two guys I saw there. Oh, and yes, I did read this while they were sitting right in front of me. ;]
He sits there like a royal
Dark hair disheveled with style
Eyes as dark, shimmering with mischief as they reach hers
A hand near his mouth
Drawing her eyes to it
Lips chiseled into a small smile
It’s the magnificence of him
Radiating into her skin from across the room
That pushes her big eyes
Sideways
To his friend, sidekick, servant of sorts
Quiet-looking and studious
A confidence not so loud
But more stable
More intriguing
More intriguing in that he looks stronger of mind
Stronger of heart
Her eyes flick back to Prince Charming
His attentions have already moved on
To some woman taking center stage
Flashy and obnoxious
Meanwhile, Knight in Shining Spectacles turns and -
And looks into her
