Passing west

watching you walk
thoughts taunt me
poking at my urges
you are so very pleasing
it's as if you stride on a cloud
so deliberate and graceful
slow and steady
your hair sweeps and swirls
over and across your shoulders
playing down your back
you face south briefly
your head on a pivot
only to look forward again
back on your path
to somewhere else
recalling your smile
is quite intoxicating
you are so delicate and fragile
but i see strength in your hands
your eyes so impassioned
with your thoughts
the thoughts that are
so far away
from my reality
...only to know you
passing west
you wave hello
is it a sign
or is it
innocence
meeting my ego
