Couldn't Be Stranger

It should've started with
"Hello" or something,
But light travels faster than sound
And our time was short
And so sweet.
There was a smile that said
"Nice to meet you"
That rang louder than laughter.
I could feel your heart
Skip
A beat, as it pulled my own
By the heartstrings
Beat by beat, like a marionette.
A cheeky "How are you"
And our wordless understanding
Spread like fire up my throat.
We must have been conversing about the weather because
I saw the bluest sky in your eyes
As each blink broke on the rocks.
I asked for a name and
Oh, could it be?
'Twas the first time I saw
A voice so beautiful,

Snap.

The moment was gone,
Our conversation
Now an invisible web
Sprawled in two like curtains on a stage.

Deafening static was the transition
Back into reality.

We thought our goodbyes and
Phrased each other's
As we walked out doors
More than friends
Before we had even met.

Azazyl

Stench of humanity,
The rot of those fair.
Despair!
Of lost sanity and
Dreams never there.
