A flash of eyes
 

An unexpected lightning bolt,

A sudden glance, a fearsome jolt,

A striking impact locked in time,

A lasting dream, forever mine.

A love I know that cannot be,

But I can dream, pretend that she,

Has favoured me ... not true alas,

This woman I can never have.

A twist of fate, a trick of sorts,

A smile but all else out of court,

A path that I can never take,

A love too far, a love too late.

A love too late, but still I find,

What e’re the hour she’s on my mind,

No place to run, no place to hide,

A victim of a flash of eyes.
