Checkmate

Pressing beyond a doubt
born of loving a quiet man
his hesitation
never surprises her
more a mild disappointment
than cool rejection

Offering her lips
without words
surrender without overture
embracing gently and tightly
fills a shallow void
in love's sweet promises


F William Broome 2003-08
