His Quandary -Edited
She stands with poise nearby the old quaint quay.
Her hair, like platinum, glows in the sun.
He quivers, seeing her. It is his plea
that she’ll forgive him for the wrong he’s done.
He wishes there were penance he could do
to make her know the depth of his regret -
to show her that forever he’d be true
were she to take him back! When they first met,
he knew she was the only one for him.
A quandary he's in now. Can he win
her trust again, for things are looking grim.
Oh, God, let her forgive him of his sin!
She walks toward him. Will he be facing doom?
Inhaling – he takes in her sweet perfume.

(I edited and re-entered this. All this time I did not know the
pronunciation of quay until a kind poet pointed out my mistake with
the rhyme! I had always thought it was a long A sound pronounced like kway! But the place I checked made it sound like "key")
