The Muse

Meeting them was just an excuse
To see the beauty at work.
Eyes partially hidden behind a screen
Hands furiously typing away.

Her perfect brows
Frowning in concentration
Chewing a pen in deep thought
And eyes closed to pray

She was fighting a loose strand
Craving for her attention.
But then she just saw me
Stopping dead my heart just for a while

Her expression was stoic
But a gentle smile escaped the lips.
That was all I wanted to see,
For me to try till end of the mile. 

I didn't linger much long
For the fear of my heart plopping out
And yelling out my love for her
Not yet I said to myself. "Not yet" I pray

The day would just go on
But I leave a piece of myself behind.
To see the beauty at work.
Eyes partially hidden behind a screen
Hands furiously typing away...
