You Remind Me

Accidental Poet

 

Our eyes meet

And again I’m lost

How do you do it?

Just a smile and I’m tossed

 

You remind me

Of younger days

When the pull was strong

Of a woman’s charming ways

 

Yes, I’ve been in love before

Danced among the stars

Even had my heart broken

Decorated with scars

 

But that was long ago

My heart now all mended

Forget all the heartaches

Of past loves that ended

 

I look to the sunrise

For bright new days

To live a happy life

In a positive way

 

So please pardon me

When you catch my stare

I might seem hypnotized

In that brief moment we share

 

A feeling I’d thought forgotten

Concentration broken

My attention derailed

An attraction unspoken

 

You remind me

That I too can be lonely

Wanting to belong to another

Their one and only

  • Fay Slimm.

    Such an appeal in these honest words. Great read.

    • Accidental Poet

      Thanks Fay. Having my poetry received so well by all of you is a blessing certainly. ; )

    • Poetic Dan

      You have been pardoned my friend. What a delightful read, I saw myself salsa dancing with eyes catching everywhere. Like shooting stars we going fast, til two stay and see if a new world they can come to create.

      With your words so tender I hope this manifests

      • Accidental Poet

        No, it didn't manifest into anything. And I never expected it to. But it was inspired by a very attractive waitress at a restaurant earlier this year. Thanks for reading and your enthusiastic compliment. ; )

      • orchidee

        A fine write AP. And would I know her?! lol.

        • Accidental Poet

          You might orchi, if you've been in and around Halifax, Massachusetts in the last year. ; )

          • orchidee

            Nope, AP. Maybe Halifax, UK, though even that's far from where I live!

          • WL Schuett

            I found this intriguing but , it ends kinda sad ... good poem though

            • Accidental Poet

              Thanks for your compliment and reading WL. I guess you're right about the ending being sad, but the feeling of sadness for me is only temporary. I think it was the inspiration that perked me up. ; )

            • FredPeyer

              AP, your poem is great. It did draw me in right away. Sometimes a total stranger will have that effect on us, and you worded it beautifully.

              • Accidental Poet

                Thanks Fred. Yes, a stranger she was, but I made eye contact with her long enough to inspire this write. Finding inspiration when you least expect it is a blessing. ; )

              • Ravenssongbird

                A very mesmerizing read 😊 You have captured the unique spark of attraction and beauty between innocent moments. Great piece!

                • Accidental Poet

                  Well thank you very much Raven. That is exactly the way it appeared to me when I wrote it. I was for the moment speechless. Thank you for reading and your nice compliment. ; )

                • skyebellasario

                  So sweetly worded, I loved the glimmer of sadness towards the end

                  • Accidental Poet

                    When I wrote it, it wasn't as much of sadness as it was of affirmation of a state of mind. Thank you for reading and your comment. ; )
