Should I Take a Chance

there would be too much
anguish in just one touch-
for in loving him,
my heart would ache…
            a slight chance to take

he would brisk my arm
and i would sigh-
gaze into my eyes as if
i was the most beautiful
woman he had ever seen
(prancing in fields of emerald green)

i left bereft that day in early may-
ceased my yearning to be near
an honorable man
               -the ONLY man for me-

but there would be too much 
anguish in just one touch…

adoration reveals tribulation-
my soul forsaken in a chance taken

Lu Loo, Yes.., 'anguish in just one touch'. When you've got it, you've got it. Hopefully not forsaken, proved a soul's worth yet again in this write. -Richard
