Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Too Soon, Too Soon

Escaped! furtive glances
   Manifest of enchanted trances
Arrested by crimson faces averted
   Too soon, too soon, they'd flirted

The air yearned with sensation
    Surreptitious, delicious anticipation
Peering deeply into each other's eyes
   Too soon, too soon, they'd rhapsodized

Tilted heads on swooning necks 
   Lips toward targets puckered, flexed
The moment arrived, two souls to merge
   Too soon, too soon, they'd felt the urge...

Somberly returned, Cupid's bent arrow to its quiver
   Too soon, too soon, murmured love's melancholy river

Caren Krutsinger October 19, 2018 at 7:53 AM Love happens, and it is wonderful, and we may not have tomorrow. Mike drop. Gershon Wolf October 20, 2018 at 9:19 PM Well, reasonable people can disagree at times--without being disagreeable! So, I would propose this: Infatuation happens, and it feels wonderful. I'm with you there. Love, on the other hand, is something that's cultivated, withstands tests, and doesn't always feel wonderful. O.K., appreciate your observation and your support. Best always, Gershon

Mike Gentile October 18, 2018 at 9:55 AM If it's right, is it ever really...too soon? A beautiful story Gershon. Great flow and lovely to read this morning!!! Gershon Wolf October 18, 2018 at 1:19 PM Ha, ha -- That's quite a big IF, my friend. Of course, one never knows for sure if it's right … Yet as someone who is divorced and remarried, whose first two kids are both divorced, whose ex-wife's entire 4 siblings are all divorced, I guess I'm prone to think that in affairs of the heart and the eyes, one errs on the side of caution… At any rate, thank you for your encouragement and support. Best wishes, Gershon
