Hungry Eyes





With abated breath
My eyes search for him
Thirsty, longing eyes,
For that long
Awaited glimpse.
I see him searching
In the frenzied crowd.
Our eyes meet…
The noise and din
Fade into silence

As our gaze touch
One another.
For that split second
All cease to exist
But love…
I want to run
To his arms
But waver…
He is not alone.


The crowd swallows
That magical moment
Like a hungry tide
He is lost in the
Milieu of faces
And I turn away
With only a memory
Of that love filled gaze
To wait for another day
Another moment
Till we meet again.
