Person of Interest

Person of Interest
she caught my attention with her sway eyes of interrogation
we asked each other questions
without uttering a syllable of sound
an ellipsis smile
spoke volumes
i blinked
she moved on
a mystery in waiting
after the moment's imbue
should i pursue?

Nothing ventured nothing gained. If you don't pursue the opportunities that come your way, at a later date you may regret it. Sometimes a look is enough. A scenario easily pictured on your words Jacob.

You're asking the wrong guy; any good moves I've ever made have been by mistake.
Beautifully portrayed, prof!

I’d say go for it :)
One can never be too sure but to me, the ellipsis smile and interrogating eyes seem to tilt the balance in your favour.
So nicely written, Jacob.

Those chance encounters … a glance … a come hither smile … she turns away …
Do I pursue at the risk of my foolish pride?
Damn right man … life is short … what's a little more humiliation?
A good one j.
