Gaze Poem by ikpat Ekomobong

I stare at you with such seriousness and constancy
I see the way you adjust in your seat
Uncomfortable under the constant gaze of my eyes,
I didn’t take notice of the
Apparent Disgust on your face or how insecure you feel under my stare
Because even as I watch you I was not watching you
And even as I look I didn’t see you
And even as I thought I wasn’t thinking of you
But of something else, far and abstract
farther than the distance between you and I
Because my imaginations has gone on a little trip
To Somewhere beyond the boundaries of the walls of this room
So miss little lady don’t feel uneasy when I stare
For I am only lost in my own world of thoughts
And not in thoughts of you.
