Another Lost From Sight

Glancing into your eyes

Caught in naughty thoughts

Rip away, tearing out

Staring down into black

Gridirons bar vision

Feet shuffling for freedom

My heart wills to fly

Attempt to break for your side

Frozen then distracted

Nothing else matters

But I act interested

In conversation

Across the grid

Duals and jousts

All out war of words

Waged in bought spirits

Gauged in morays

A play to distract

My chance

To glance over the menu

To find you

Unnoticed

I watch your face

Expressive eyes flicker

You are playing the same game

Around another grid

Different actors

You’re charming

Without, I only act

With, I dance

Foot shuffle starts

Into monologue

Entangles to tango

I wonder why

I sit caught

Curious thoughts

How long had I stared?

Daydreaming your being

Blinded by visions

Did you already know?

Were you playing our game?

Your smile answers

Thanks for understanding

Again caught

By conversation

Eyes demanded

Awareness taken

You are stolen

My thoughts emptied

Words come to mind

Answers unkind

When I look back

You are gone
