the chance

tom petty sang

“you don’t know how it feels…”

and i don’t think you did

nope, you never knew

i gasped

when you walked into the room

and my universe lit up

like the stars

at the mention of your name

earth tilting emotions

had me swooning

so i rolled the dice

allowing madame fate to do her thing

she knew best

or did she

i never had the chance to find out

Wonderful theme. If you feel that everything turns out for the best you will always be happy, if you believe that it doesn't you will always be nervous, sad of discontent, always feeling that there was something else you could have done. In that the past can not be relived you will never know.

Thank you very much, Soren. Lydi**

Has the sound of a romance gone sour, and apparently in a rapid manner. The speaker admits to being bowled over by the budding relationship, having seemingly found "the one." There was a casting fate to the wind moment, but then it is inferred things went no further. These things happen. Write it off to learning.

Lessons learned in life....they are the ones that haunt us at dark thirty. Thanks for the review, John. Lydi**

I did like the twist of words dear Lydia. Yes, what we didn't do. Can haunt us. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

I enjoyed reading this. It's a like a little history of romance squeezed into a few lines. Great stuff. F.

Gorgeous to say the least. You expressly state your affection to a handsome and powerful man, but hopefully down to earth. Lovely sentiments and some realization to follow.
Happy Valentine's day...
