Gem... Poem by Nestor David Armas

Trendy girl,

A sudden whirl,

In my direction,

One of a kind confection,

My mind stumbles over,

Looking for a four leaf clover,

Of an explanation for the reason,

Why she looks different, a season,

She smiles looking at me,

My mouth is shut idly,

I do not return the smile,

She keeps coming all the while,

Steadily a shark in deep waters,

As if I am the only thing that matters,

She arrives like a ship to dock,

I nervously shift my eyes to the clock,

She hands me something nice,

And I look briefly into her eyes,

Awestruck by what I see in them,

They sparkle bright like a gem...
