A Few More

I took a journey last night,

The journey took me to a hiding place,

One that I hoped would set things right.

Instead, I found thick silence around me.

The scarlet hours engulfed me

In luminous darkness,

My soul quaked.

I begged for mercy to no avail.

Indeed, my cries brought no relief.

There in the shadows he stood,

I stopped and wondered if I could

Push aside my fears and

Let him into my locked up heart.

Can I withstand a second chance?

Will the everlasting flame burn bright,

Or will it simply die out?

I pray these aren’t just symptoms

And lies told to soothe and warm.

My love is true and unconditional

With no slight of hand tricks or

False promises told with sly

Innuendoes and heartless cruelty.

I’ll take the chance and let him in.

His smile says so much.

Indeed, a few more moments,

A touch, a kiss, yes.

It’s all worth it again.
