Image: Calm waters unnerving (here)
Whispers of sweet nothings softly
Knocked a little a time expecting
How awkward it was to act silly
Pushed in as much of the same trying
Love knew no bounds but still insisting
Mindful of being snubbed as before
Trudged on tired nerves but reckoning
Persisting and pulsating even more
A sly smile was all that he perceived
But just as well there was a response
Open your heart and not to deceive
Desires in calm waters faced resistance
Bjorn's at d'Verse's MTB
music of alliteration assonance and consonance

like the rhythm each line of your poem creates and the pauses in between gives it a lovely tempo
ReplyDeleteCautious in love...
ReplyDeleteNice line: "Open your heart and not to deceive"
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to open your heart when you've been "snubbed before". We grow "cautious in love". You express it well.
ReplyDeleteFor each time a man is snubbed, the harder it becomes to see sweetness in a smile
ReplyDeleteSweet nothings can be so deceptive, and turn to nothing, and we are bruised
ReplyDeleteInching on in to see what transpires
