The crowded ball room limits visibility <br />Still, our eyes meet and lock <br />As if fascination lay in the curve of our face, <br />passion sparkled in our eyes, <br />interesting whispers waited inside our lips, <br />desire burned in our hearts <br />Time held a meaning <br />I wished it would merge with eternity and never crawl on <br /> <br />A brief encounter <br />An instant connection <br />We are still the stiffest of the strangers <br />To mask our eagerness, to suppress our urges <br />For the others would not turn a blind eye to our addresses <br /> <br />We are impossible <br />We both knew the terrible upheaval that could stir if we gave in to the temptation whispered in our ears <br /> <br />I dismissed a notion and withdrew from our game of glances <br />Silently I bid a goodbye <br />This toast of wine <br />For our fleeting encounter<br /><br />Low Li Ling Jasmine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/transient-in-our-encounter/
