Lotus

Saw her at a book store
in the relationships section;
I noticed her big natural hair
and melaninated complextion;

walked passed the aisle hoping she'll see me and my intellectual ways;
because it's rare seeing a black man buying books these days;

she was too much into her book to notice;
so I stepped to her,
"Hi, I'm Anthony. I'm a poet;"
she smiles and says,
"Hi, Anthony. I'm Lotus;"
her name made sense,
but I had to stay focused;

"Do you come here often?"
as I stuttered over my words;
staring into the secrets of her eyes,
couldn't help but to absorb;

walking around the store conversing;
she's blushing from my flirting;
she new that I was an interesting person;
she didn't even mind my cursing;

she's not the type to run game on,
so I didn't;
wanted to express my attraction to her,
but I kept it hidden;

gave her my card
hoping she'd use it and call;
I hadn't heard from her at all.
