Kahlani Steele Poet Rhyme

IF I ONLY KNEW - TSF

if I 
only
knew that
all it 
took was 
one more
glance, then…

I might
have stopped
to see
if that
quick spark 
might flare
again

but the
moment’s
gone, it 
went too
soon, and
I do
regret

still I
search the
same old 
streets for 
eyes I’ll 
never
forget
