her smiled deceived
dismissive indeed
bashful and conceited
when she didn’t see;

tacit ... enterprising ....
courageous nonetheless
touch me nay
she says always;

lest her shyness succeed
hidden from treasures I see
she turns helpless
her distance beyond my reach;

by mere design
awkward indeed
vigorous with life (when)
sees no one in sight ….

Those are the feelings of tiny butterflies when you come across such emotions.

"her distance beyond my reach; by mere design
awkward indeed.."

the infibte gap or the virtual space, ironically defines the us-do-ku of human emotions...

Saptashi [der Bergwind ]: thank u for ur words and thoughts ... I had replied to the question of why don't I title my post any longer in one of ur earlier comment ... well not titling the pieces firstly helps me save time from thinking a suitable topic everytime ... and secondly it frees the reader's mind from any prejudice as to what the writer is / was thinking and let them read the piece from their perspective

-------------------------------------

Thank u guys

Greatly appreciated
