Create a poem that delves into what is communicated in moments of silence.

Just A Look

Just a look.

That’s all I get.

A glance, a peek.

Seconds to convey

All the things

You long to say.


Just a look.

Brief and fleeting.

Across the room.

Telling me everything

And nothing

With your eyes.


Just a look.

A brilliant silence

That echoes loud.

Saying what couldn’t

With just words

Simple, meaningless words


Just a look.

It beckons me.

Rise and follow.

Down the hall

Up the stairs

Behind the door.


Just a look.

Power in your touch.

Unspoken passions alight.

Draw me close

Hold me against

The dark of night.


Just a look.

Nothing more.

All we’ll be

Now, forever more.

Two strangers sharing

Just a look.
