Moonbeam
From across the room
the only one in the crowd
smiling to herself
has caught me staring,
seems to have felt
something indescribable
that awakens her
which I've mused to be
a form of telepathy
or soul touching another
soul, effective only when
selfless as I learned
experimenting
with the phenomenon
and having no results
when out of lust
I pursued females
with my thoughts
hoping to attract one,
their responses cold
if they saw me leering,
not like her, a smile
opening larger
like a fully blossoming
flower as I continue to look
without guilt, embarrassed,
in need of nothing more.

Yep, you nailed a universal experience...who can't like these lines:
a smile
opening larger
like a fully blossoming
flower as I continue to look
without guilt, embarrassed,
in need of nothing more.

Billy. A moment well caught and written about. I usually don’t relate to soul poems, but here the beauty of the selfless soul touching comes through. Siva
