Poem composed February 5, 2006
When your eyes I caught
Looking at me through the mirror reflection
Softly uttering tender thoughts
Yet lips tightly closed in perfection
When your eyes I realized
Following me around as I sway
Holding me as a captive, mesmerized
Yet you were observing from very far away
A season filled with laughter
The following season full of silence
Blinded from what you are after
Should I wait in persistence?
It is there, but quite not
Halfway in between existence
Not cold, but yet not hot
Not vapor, yet not substance
Feeling it but not responding
Tormented but keep avoiding
Running away but always thinking
Denying out loud but inside admitting
Like a stubborn steel that won’t bend
Or stirring oil with water that just won’t blend
Or trapped running in a circle with no end
That’s what we are, ‘mere friends’
Poem inspired by friends; this couple who is experiencing mutual romance, yet the masculine side is so full of pride that he just won’t admit it! Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn! As a result, the feminine side feels confused and both parties are trying to run away from each other and are trapped in an invisible relationship I termed ‘mere friends’.
