Tour to love
Finding love as a tour guide.
The crowd gathered ‘round as I explained the city’s history,
One of war and famine, corruption and desperation
But also literature and art, music and beauty.
I was immersed in my tale of a revolt when I lost my concentration.
Her eyes were intensely looking into mine and I fumbled with the words,
Eyebrows furrowed she tilted her head to the left and I fell out of my stupor.
I regaled them with the remainder of the story taking them all forward
Glancing once again at the angel over my shoulder.
The tour completed I sat with beer in hand and watched her at the bar.
Chatting with the other guests a tingle on my neck I felt
Glancing up, her eyes on mine, my skin warmed from afar,
And when she smiled I knew it was love and my heart did melt.
