Timing

Paths cross
Too early. Too late.
Too this. Too that.
Yet
Eyes meet, a spark across the emptiness
Pupils dilate, hearts flutter
Necks pulse, flush pink
Time slows

And in that brief instant a choice be made:
To pause, to turn, to embrace
The chance of life's love
Or continue on, fate be damned

Are you so certain against all signs
You control the path of your entire destiny
That you will not lay your hand in mine?

Oh Heart of Mine

How trite to say, "Oh heart of mine"
Yet said heart has long sat broken
Not broken, nay, but empty, say,
For lack of word soft spoken

Can ever come the tender tongue
To lay calloused muscle open
So enters in a new begin
True love once more be spoken?
