Silhouette

by Lynn Robert Erskine

(written maybe 2003?)

Transparent.

My heart-

A window.

So I stare.

Suddenly,

A movement.

An unmistakable

Silhouette

Stands in front of

The window.

The hair.

The curves.

The moves.

All too familiar.

No doubt about it - it’s

You.

But you’re looking at

Something in

Your hands.

Smiling.

Even a silhouette can’t hide

Your smile.

I can feel

Your eyes, and

I realize.

I think I’m watching

You, but 

You’re beholding

My heart.

And I love it.
