Feast my eyes

I arrive at the restaurant

my heart overrides my nerves

as my mind is perplexed

about how calm I am

strange to be a party of one

as I've never gone out

to eat by myself, alone

that'll soon be remedied

the hostess leads me

into the dining room

and seats me with a menu

this list of food and drinks

will serve as my companion

but merely for the moment

for even as I sit down I feel

a magnetic force knocking

at my accelerating pulse

I resist for as long as I can

but then give in to the impulse

I glance up to find the most

intense gaze fixated on me

at that moment everything 

else fades from reality

as the ravenous connection

pulls at the very souls

of the two engaged in this
