Careful of err I inch across This frozen river Holding my breath As though it will lessen my weight on this fragile ground Beneath me is a rage of tormented torrents Relentless Continual A sliver of frosted veneer separates us My mind floods with thoughts of abandon Yet to have come so far Midpoint between the shorelines It would be easy to retreat over steps retraced Though the urge to go on is stronger I feel a slight bow, a yield to my presence A blunder will be my quick demise Cautiously I continue I close my eyes in futile gesture To diminish my mistaken plunge should it come Yet I go forth, take the chance And kiss her. < !signature--> Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart.

Ron- how sweet that first kiss can be and in the same sense its torture for the kisser... very well said.  |

Wonderful, Ron, the way you have accurately established those dreadfully uncertain but always exhilarating moments leading to that "other side"...you've done it again with this lovely metaphorical piece. Rainydays |
