Francine Roberts Poet Couplet

A New Beginning

We walk the trails, kicking leaves,
wondering if the other believes
that this is a new start for each.
That maybe it is within our reach.

Holding hands, walking slow,
letting feelings tentatively grow.
We are not young, we are not new.
If this is love, its overdue.

A friendship we started some time ago
is becoming something deeper though.
We shall not rush it, we'll patiently wait
and leave it in the hands of fate.

Don Johnson September 27, 2011 at 11:27 PM Great poetry does flow, in every line, the meaning though, could be sublime, the wanting so, perhaps in time, the loving heart, the path to climb...

Juanita Salgado September 25, 2011 at 5:04 AM its good, i can see you have a wide vocbulary, i like it, it does seem that it should be longer but it gets to the point and can make some people think, if they've never experienced love
