Say, why do I keep seeing you? I do not mean to stare.
But every time I turn around it seems like you are there.
It may just be my day of luck, or maybe this is grace.
If I’m to have my vision stuck you are the perfect place.
You’re always a distraction- wow- it’s such a good surprise.
Denying an attraction now would be a pack of lies-
So as you catch me looking, though you may think I’m a spy-
I’ll call it fate, but this is great- and that I won’t deny.
I know this is ridiculous, but here we go again...
Although I am meticulous I can’t remember when
My lucky stars have so conspired to make the perfect day-
It’s everything that I’ve desired- to keep you in my way.
I hope you don’t resent the guy who kept on watching you.
It wasn’t my intent to spy, but what was I to do?
I’m not about to look away from anything so grand.
If you could feel your great appeal I think you’d understand.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
