Split-Second Chance

30 poems in 30 days challenge! Day 15

The jet takes off into stratosphere,
Sun drops hanging like chandeliers
Amidst clear clouds.

She rocks around to some rock and roll,
I think I'm about to flip and explode
Like a supernova.

There isn't much that I can do
But linger on, on her every move
As she looks away.

I'm sitting in an airplane,
Flying as a bird,
Still caged by my emotions
With her sitting close.

I'm hoping she won't notice,
I'm praying she won't care,
There isn't much that I can hide
Underneath that stare.

She turns around and smiles at me,
A thousand rainbows ignite,
The violet mist knocks me cold
And all I see is white.

In a flash and a rhythm
She's all gone,
I just can't fathom what's going on
Until I look outside.

The rainbow's clear,
Sun drops gone,
The supernova's a shooting star
That I wished upon
For another chance
But they cheated
And all I got was a split-second romance.
