Through a Storefront Window.

I see a girl through a storefront window…
She has beautiful blonde hair.
A wonderful smile, that melts my heart.
With sparkling blue eyes to match.
A glow about her that makes me smile.
She is in front of a mirror trying on some clothes.
I ask myself.
Is she seeing who she wants to see?
Does the mirror reflect the secrets of her past?
She reaches for another shirt…
This time it’s a white one.
Will her reflection change?
I stare and I feel attracted to her.
Drawn to her as if I am supposed to approach her.
I feel awkward, yet comfortable.
Should I be staring?
What could she be thinking right now?
I am drawn to the look in her eyes.
I don’t care about the past!
I forget all I have ever said and done.
I just have her on my mind.
She reaches for a blue top and tries it on.
Then a pink one.
Somehow she is not happy with either one.
I just keep staring, my eyes are affixed on her.
She won’t get any if she is not completely happy with them.
She is searching for a perfect fit.
One that she feels comfortable with.
It’s just a simple shirt, I wonder out loud.
What is going on inside her head?
Is she just as picky when it comes to special friends?
Does she choose everyone just as selectively?
What does she look for in a special friend?
She turns around, and our eyes meet, she smiles at me.
I say to her take the blue one, it matches your eyes.
As she reads my lips, she does and smiles.
I feel like a voyeur, invading her privacy.
I don’t know what to do?
Do I approach or walk away?

Zsolt Zsemba has worn many different hats. He has been an entrepreneur, and businessman for over 30 years. Living abroad has given him many amazing experiences in life and also sparked his imagination for writing. After moving to Canada from Hungary at the age of 10 and working in a family business for a large part of his life. The switch from manufacturing to writing came surprisingly easily for him. His passion for writing began at age 12, mostly writing poetry and short stories. In 1999, the chance came to write scripts. Zsolt took some time off from his family business to write in Jakarta Indonesia for MD Entertainment. Having written dozens of soap operas and made for TV movies, in 2003 Zsolt returned to the family business once more. In 2018, he had the chance to head back to Asia once again. He took on the challenge to be the COO for MD Pictures and get back into the entertainment business. The entertainment business opened up the desire to write once more and the words began to flow onto the pages again. He decided to rewrite a book he began years ago. Organ House was reborn and is a fiction suspense novel while Scars is a young adult drama focused on life’s challenges. After the first two books, his desire to write not only became more challenging but enjoyable as well. After having several books completed he was convinced to publish them for your enjoyment. Zsolt does not tend to stay in one specific genre but tends to lean towards strong female leads and horror. Though he also has a few human interest books, he tends to write about whatever brews in his brain for a while.
