Not that she stood out
But because she wore this big glasses
Or rather the glasses wore her
Okay,maybe she stood out
He singled her out because he thought or rather wished she was single just like he
She looked like a doctor
Or so he thought
He approached her
Asked her name
Her name,he thought,sounded like a beautiful song
Or maybe a melody, he wasn’t sure which
Asked her what she does
She said a poet
He wanted to tell her he’s a painter
But was afraid she won’t let him paint her life with love
Wanted to say a singer but he wasn’t sure if she’ll dance to his tune
That’s if she dances at all
If she’ll listen to his rhythm and maybe blues
Finally he told her he’s a swimmer
Because all that time he stared at her
He was swimming in the thought that maybe they could be something
Just maybe
A swimmer because he drowned in her eyes
Beautiful blue eyes. Just like the sea
A poor swimmer,she joked
He remembered reading some poet’s work,the name same as hers
Remembered how those poems healed his heart
Asked her if they were hers and she said yes
Aah! No wonder he thought her a doctor
He confessed how he loved her poems
She told him,with a sweet smile
Her husband helped her write them珞
