ODE TO A JAYWALKER

You jaywalked into my life,

at first causing barely a ripple

in my womb-like pond

but quickly became a Tsunami.

.

I was left poetry-less,

not robbed of my voice,

just having to change it

to encompass the breadth of you.

.

You take my breath away

with a smile,

a teasing joke,

when you finger your earrings.

.

If there ever comes a day

when I do not tell you I love you,

it will be because the world stood still.

I’ll still be flirting with you at the end of time.
