"and it did" ...

seeing you, stunning looks, lovely lines
prim, proper, in stance, dress, waiting
skirts, save that suit, well below knee
on you, blue today, flowered print flowed
 
your hair, just as i drempt, dark, vibrant
your eyes, dark, having depth, penetrate
you look, without looking as though you do
protective, like the stony face, unyeilding
 
your posture, irritatingly correct, not rigid
as much as, regal, aloof, above it all, doubtful
you stand far away, then closer, whim, or reason
you see me looking at you, and you look back
 
not sure, but i rather think, you've watched me
out eye's corner, while looking straight ahead
if that's so, i wonder, what of me do you think
or maybe hope, fantisize, wish and want
 
had i my way:
 
tomorrow, i to you would move. then speak
you in reply, would ease my fear, and we,
we, you and i would talk, really talk
of things, both later to realize, important
 
could you, that woman in my dream be
on my lap, in my heart, fingered silence
i wanting to say either, i'm sorry, or i
do so love you, but you knew, understood
with finger to lips, reassured
 
do i in you things of me see
like that stony countenance
i have mine, saying, stay away
or that solitary position you take
 
is there something here, or is there not
tomorrow should tell , then ...
