Lonely, he burns. Alone, he watches.

Attraction. A spark. He feels the deep swell of
desire, heat unfurling in the pit of the stomach.

He observes.
A familiar profile, the man turning. The most
expressive of faces, shaping itself anew with every
phrase. A way of moving, of placing himself in the
world. Every motion a rightness, reflection of
certainty. He moves with a confidence born of
self-knowledge. Beauty unknown and thus precious.

An ache in the chest, the sweetest torture of
longing.

Eyes meet. A shock of recognition, an echoing of
thought.

Pain transforming, becoming the seed of hope.

-----

Conversation drifts... we talk, but little is said.

In the midst of the moment,
I contemplate. I am, here, now, alone in this crowd.
My friends move around me, I follow their patterns.
Yet for today I am not truly involved.

But then, as my gaze travels onwards,
I see...
Stillness. Hunger. Patience. Watching.
All the meaning I missed in this ephemeral talk
is revealed to me here.

Around me the chatter of life carries on,
But within...

A glimpse of desire in this instant of time
And hidden within the everyday shadows and mists
A deeper promise of joy.
