i was working in the computer labs and there was this really attractive girl sitting right across i couldn't help looking at. once more i was in love ;-). my heart is like a vagrant balloon, floating this way and that, without direction or purpose. here's what i came up with,

crossing

what place is this?
where just looking at you
is like
a sliver of light
in a dark room
like breeze
on a stuffy night
like the words
of pablo's sonnets
but its only here
and its only now
i cannot hold on to this
as it slips away
like a whiff
of soft, vanishing fragrance
as you go to him
and i to my loneliness
like lines crossing
never to meet again
