We met...

We met, two prideful hearts,

in the summer haze

when heat was high

and reason low,

eager to play the game

unaware of how far we could go.

We met, two ice-cold hearts,

in the dimness of the street lamps

only for a one night dance,

but the sun found us together

for more than one morning.

We met, two wary hearts,

when walking on the edges of the world

unafraid and always alone,

and reached out for one another,

ready to take a chance...

Just a free verse poem that popped into my head while listening to music and staring at the ceiling :)

i have been in this situation....after years of a closed heart, meeting another of closed heart...but together, not easily, we were able to open to each other enough to take that chance.

nicely expressed.

Emotions can flow and hearts can blow. When after when we feel alone. We can read your poetry and see our self like heroes.

It's amazing how courageous we are to take chances..to embrace the uncertain. It's amazing but frustrating at times.

[JulianaSun]

True enough. Thanks for reading and reviewing :)

Thank you so much. It was a poem written in the heat of the moment while I was staring blankly at my computer screen. :)

Magical thoughts come usually when one has a peaceful mind, free from stress... The words rising directly from the heart :-D

for a one night only dance
might fall off the tongue quicker

I like this one JS. It has that something you want to keep reading to find. Really nice

[JulianaSun]

Well, thank you Joshua. I, too, have read the poem you submitted to the " what writing means to me" contest and I have to say that my thoughts are hardly ever so...poetical :)). The are a bit more prosaic and less embellished. Thanks for making me talk in such an extravagant way, though :))
