The Moment You Arrived Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The moment you arrived,
I knew you too.
Your eyes penetrated through,
My inhabitions hidden.

And free I felt to be myself.
With a flow between us,
Growing unrestricted...
To dissolve blocking walls,
Easily.

The moment you arrived...
To recognize you and I,
Could provide...
Communicated conversation,
No longer waiting with a patience to connect.
We knew what to expect would be accepted,
Next.

And we knew,
Anticipated steps directed...
Without the benefit of a single guess,
Would never again be neglected.

The moment you arrived,
I knew you too.
Your eyes penetrated through,
My inhabitions hidden.

And free I felt to be myself.
With a flow between us,
Growing unrestricted...
To dissolve blocking walls,
Easily.

The moment you arrived,
I...
Cried with joy,
Inside.
I...
Cried with joy,
I attempted to hide...
The moment you arrived.
