Rise

Routine initial dinner imparts his heart on sleeve
     Fourth date offer to move in, with her child
     Mirror shows soft character she strives to believe 
     Demure manner somehow has him beguiled 


     Willing skip bin scour assists panicked neighbour 
     His outlook stoic upbeat, maintained modest 
     Jarvis valued asset, bovine humane kill innovator
     Bali trip invitation, having kissed her not yet


     Gilded page fable hero, finally sigh spontaneous 
     Erased past innocent repels inquiry intuitive 
     Revealing her dabbling would be dire dangerous 
     Vague oil picture layers bright lies lucrative 


     August move in floor thirty in tower beside marina
     Vista thirty miles of hills, boat smooth ocean
     Fairytale ticket to board, beau's open demeanour 
     Marks their story heavy navy ribbon devotion
