Tony Bush Poet Rhyme

Commitment

I would step, in trepidation, 
the floor would slide 
beneath my toes; 
the unknown, a well 
of sadness, 
worried how far it goes. 

To where would my heart plummet 
if I dropped it 
like a rose? 
Would the petals vanish, 
surrendered 
to a fate that heaven knows? 

I would court anticipation, 
simmering inside, 
and what would happen then? 
Hesitation at the journey 
to the stars 
and back again. 

I am ready for commitment, 
I can see it, 
count to ten; 
I am yours if you still want me, 
simply 
tell me where and when.
