A Glimpse

A Glimpse, through an interstice caught,
Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a bar-room, around the stove,
late of a winter night--And I unremark'd seated in a corner;
Of a youth who loves me, and whom I love,
silently approaching, and
seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand;
A long while, amid the noises of coming and going--of drinking and
oath and smutty jest,
There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little,
perhaps not a word.

Suggested read : Walt Whitman

Suggested rythm: Is there anybody out there ,Pink Floyd

Used to enjoy the bar milieu a lot. :)

Pink Floyd is one of my favourites.

Great writing!

Very Walt Whitman. And Pink Floyd rules. You just can't go wrong!
