Leap year

peto

His heartbeat gets faster 

His pupils dilate 

And all cause he asked her 

To go on a date 

She wanted so badly 

To jump at the chance 

Her busy life sadly 

Devoid of romance 

And then there's the distance 

A few hundred miles 

The natural resistance 

Of differing styles 

Neither can deny it

These feelings are real 

If bottled I'd buy it

Beg borrow or steal 

At night when they're sleeping 

Two share the one dream 

This year is for leaping 

And letting of steam 

With heads full of wonder 

And stomachs in knots 

They'll wade through the thunder 

To join up the dots

What it will fashion 

When push comes to shove 

Is an unbridled passion 

And beautiful love

    Great writing especially like these lines


    ‘This year is for leaping
    And letting of steam
    With heads full of wonder
    And stomachs in knots
    They'll wade through the thunder
    To join up the dots
    What it will fashion
    When push comes to shove
    Is an unbridled passion
    And beautiful love

    I like the choice of words
    Love those last lines

      Ah Violet
      Thank you very much
      You have read and supported me for some time
      Massive appreciation from me to you

      Both at once.
      An honest chronicle of reaching fir the brass ting and the visualization ir ‘what ifs” that can be real and definitive.
      And it’s because he asked her. Proactive behavior encouraged do maybe this is just a cool way to deliver advice?

        Nothing ventured nothing gained
        You got a way with words I "dig" Bobby
        Top man
        Glad to have met so to speak
        Much obliged

          I love it!!! This is so beautifully sad. My kind of poetry. Forbidden or distant love. But hey, looks like a risk was taken; and that's better than wondering what if...maybe you opened a portal for her to get inspired, and give love/romance a chance? Thank you for sharing! ✨️

            Risk it for a biscuit
            Thank you LIZ
            I open up myself if that counts
            Extremely grateful for your enthusiastic review
            Beautifully sad i take very complimentary
            Even your comments are full of feeling
            Humbled

                I will re-read these words while you take your break, you will be missed!! This rhyme scheme is different than your usual. It was quite nice! Nothing better than a romantic poem! It's so sweet! x

                  Can't stay predictable Christina
                  I'd get boring
                  Thank you for favouring for commenting for everything x

                  Great poem, peto. It reminds me how very grateful I am to have a wonderful friend and lover without any of the encumbrances that your poem outlines. I read your poem twice. I wanted to "user favorite" it but don't know how to do so.
