Love

To get in the mood: Listen to Kings of Convenience - Sorry or Please
(I just realized that that song is kinda about the same thing as this poem).
Enjoy!

Duality

A word from you
would make me lower my head
in shame and discomfort.

A stare from you
would make me look away
avoiding your cold eyes.

A contact from you
would make me flinch away
awaiting the next blow.

A grin from you
would make my heart sink
diminishing me inside.

But then,

A word from you
would make me lower my head
in shyness and embarrassment.

A gaze from you
would make me look away
avoiding your piercing eyes.

A touch from you
would make me shake softly
awaiting your next touch.

A smile from you
would make my heart jump
enlarging my largest dreams.

If I only could guess your intentions.
