There’s a story behind her sadness Just another broken heart She says in time she’ll be fine But for now she’s very cautious Says she has no love for giving But I would surely love to give her mine. My knees get weak and wobbly Just about any time I see her A sweat slowly breaks across my brow And how I long to hold her And say these few words to her But Lord, I just don’t know how. Let’s take a stroll through the garden Let’s open up the gate Take a step in my direction It’s not too late Let’s take a walk down the road Let’s tempt the hands of fate Just run into my arms It ‘s not too late. We sit beneath the moonlight Watch the stars as they’re falling From the chair that sits upon her moonlit porch And we’ve been friends forever But lately now I’ve noticed This spark I hold has become a raging torch. As we sit and share our secrets While I’m looking deep into her eyes I can see all her sorrow and her pain And to comfort her I hold her And I so much want to tell her But I just can never seem to find the way She takes my hand in hers As friends will do in comfort And she notices how sweaty my palms have become She rests her head up against me Lord, she’s sure to hear my heartbeat I have the urge to just get up and run Then she says it in a soft voice “Have you ever wondered If things had turned out a different way? If we hadn’t met another?” And I think my heart stopped beating That’s when I just had to say… Let’s take a stroll through the garden Let’s open up the gate Take a step in my direction It’s not too late Let’s take a walk down the road Let’s tempt the hands of fate Just run into my arms It’s not too late. Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

Beautiful Ron, simply beautiful..and I know this feeling, I love to lay my head close and listen to the beating heart...make sure you tell her, or you may miss the chance (if this is real) if not, well I don't know how anyone wouldn't love to hear the words and thoughts from you.  ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Ron..... If this is real, she'd be crazy not to run into your arms! This is truly beautiful, and I can see your heart in this one.....  Follow your dream! |

Ahh, da man is making with the swoon technique in this one is he? Superb write from you again and this one really rocks in more than one way, as I see many a woman's head bobbing in sheer delight in this one saying yes, yes, yes. |

Ron, how touching a write this is Ya know 'cautious' sometimes is good it can kinda be a healing process towards a next phase in life's journey... and time will also provide 'caution' an opportunity to disintegrate when the soul and heart are ready to share fully love's embrace Thanks for a great read Ron Coco |

Great job Ron!!! I hope this guy doesn't wait until it is too late, though  laughs Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |

Ron, First I want to thank you for this fantastic board. And, second, I have to say how warm and loving this poem is. Anytime a man offers to be the hero, he becomes a knight in my book. |

I really like this one Ron ...there's many I know that are in the same situation and it's hard on the heart...you captured the moment here so well...wonderful setting...and if you ever want to create a challange on this board then ask everyone to explain how that love consumes the lovers without any rhyme or reason ..or so it seems....I personally believe there's still that love at first sight thing that knocks people right off their feet....I guess we are all connected somehow....loved it!!..ethome |
