Second chances
Kiss me,she whispers
Her neck poised, defiantly
Perfection on a pedestal
Her perfume all over
Beady eyes, piercing into the soul
A flicker of hope glimmering
A million and one thoughts
Will love unravel in time?
Is she the one?
I look at her, wavering gaze
Growing steadily
Taking it all in
And soon I see it
The shy demeanor
Courage masking doubt
Resolve to move past hurt
Willingness to try, again
Kiss me, she whispers again
And without hesitation
I take a leap
Into her elysian fields
Unafraid to be found.
