Summersault Poem by Lizzy Scott

Summersault

My heart skips a beat
When I see you walking by…
My stomach does summersaults’
When I finally catch your eye…

Deep calming pools of blue
Flit their way across to me…
Reconciled to being noticed,
Slowly sinking into my seat…

Feeling crystal eyes intrigued by me
Closing space across the room,
Daring to look up from a now cold beverage
To notice he’ll be here soon…

Coming closer, ever nearer,
As my heart stops dead in its ways…
Time lags on as I forget to respond
As those pure blue eyes ask for a place…

The seat next to me now occupied
By an intriguing young man,
Barely finding the breath to respond
When he asks about my lifelong plans…

Sharing interests and discussing topics,
I am steadied on my toes…
Thank you for coming into my life,
I don’t know you yet, but you make me glow…
