Don't Wait to Talk

Surucipe

Left and right,

In a familiar place,

Familiar scenes,

Familiar space.

One day there’s new,

An unseen face,

So fair, so sweet,

Her hand I chase.

 

Day by day,

Entranced as she walks,

Month on month,

Still void of talk.

I do wish to speak,

A noise, a squawk,

But damn nerves reign,

I watch on, a gawk.

 

One noon I sat,

In unusual state,

My eyes revealed,

I was too late.

She walked the road,

With her a mate,

Toying ill with time,

Had altered fate.

 

Thoughts so deep,

Had words only spoke,

An easy plaudit,

A piquant joke.

Paths coil and twirl,

Fondness starts to evoke,

But silence took charge,

In regret I now soak.

    These things do happen but a word can break that silence and lead to such wonderful times - speak that word.
