flicker of an eye
arched eyebrow
hands covering mouths
ignoring what I like
-concealed hostility
smiling eyes
comforting touch
supportive acts
agreeing nods
-silent companionship
fleeting observation
unnoticed, lost in
the bat of an eyelid
I wonder if it happened
-enriching moments
tiny units
build mindsets
deeply entrenched in
subconscious netherlands
-impressions that drive
Fleeting
Creative Experiments and More 
I like the entrenchment in “subconscious netherlands”.

I loved how the subtle differences in a person’s eye contact completely change the mood in the different stanzas.

and despite illicit fears
the ghost

All those micro-moments add up to an intriguing, sensual poem, Reena. I like ‘silent companionship’ and ‘subconscious netherlands’.
