Dare She?

princes

A young woman…

two princes in her eyes…

one held her hand for years

another just touched it

__

Magical thrills coursed through veins

where never before

was such warmth and fire

streaming giddiness

ruled her every sigh and smile

songbirds filled her mornings

with music rivaling angelic choirs

Yet how could this be?

She had another love

steady and true

her comfort and rock

always there

always there

but that was it

simply there

not a magnetism

pulling every emotion

into a carnival whirlwind

Dare she chase

where flutters led her?

Dare she chance

a dance with erratic heartbeats?

Dare she follow

mysterious whisperings of her mind?

If she did not dare

longing uncertainty

and unsung love songs

would surely

wither her soul

and she would never forgive herself

for not being brave
