Briefly, Patiently.

Briefly.

Patiently.

Waiting.

Conspicuous.

Forever open.

A heart empty.

A soul bare.

Briefly,

I caught your stare.

Patiently.

Waiting.

You never came.

My heart crashed.

Burned in flame.

Briefly.

Patiently.

Waiting…no more. 

One Night

One night.
One fight.
Fists clenched tight.
Yells full of might.
Neither can see light.
Hearts both in the right.
Two lovers filled with fright.
One long night.

A Ploy

Sunlight reflected.

Off rushing river rapids.

Hearts a flutter.

Life not tepid.

Love between friends.

Flirtatious beings.

Like songbirds singing.

Frisky play,

dangerously close.

A love between friends.

Risk, filled with hope.

Hug me, please.

A moment of joy.

A love, only a ploy.

Friends: A Poem

Friends,

yearning to be lovers.

Secretly a kiss.

Hearts that hover.

A hug.

An innocent touch.

Two who ask too much.

One cannot be without the other.

Betrothed each are,

but not to one another.

Friends,

lovers in disguise.

A secret joy,

came as a surprise.

Never

Love.
Frustration.
Angst.
A moment of confusion.
A moment of course.
Joyous memories.
Teenage dreams.
Infatuation with an idea.
Never realized.
Love.

The Affair

A reluctant kiss.

Pounding heart.

Insatiable desire.

Don’t tell her.

Don’t tell him.

No one will know.

Ever.

Tangled tongues.

Complexity in emotion.

A reluctant kiss.

A passionate night.

Tomorrow, friends,

once more.

An affair,

never revealed.

A love,

never fulfilled.
