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.
