shy, a stolen glance,
to land upon softened, grey blue,
swerve, blink bashful, but
not before recognition hits,
he sees the brilliant green
she lowers her lashes, remembers
finding her charming,
familiar and yet different
grey-blue smiles
stares shamelessly,
intense on a return peek
heat splashes breastbone,
works its way up
a slender neck
but
a, younger, bolder spirit finds its way
quiet gasps of breath
as grey-blue-green
sway,
twinkle,
sparkle,
engage
they both laugh
shy
shameless
