A New Acquaintance

 

A man

A new name

All new experiences

 

He enjoys dancing

Likes strong coffee

Loves the moods of music

 

Disdains the wind

Curses the cold

Thrives in the sun

 

An occasional smoker

Moderate drinker

Habitual night owl

 

A late weekend sleeper

Consumed with passion for his job

His passion for play is its balance

 

Not a pessimist

Not an optimist

But a devout realist

 

Dislikes pretenses

Speaks to the point

Expresses emotions non-verbally

 

Soft spoken

With a penchant for excitement

And a rebellious spirit

 

My senses are piqued

As his colorful facets

Reveal his uniqueness

 

Like the myriad folds

Of a Japanese fan

Slowly opening.
