Attraction

In bed I sit and ponder

For this Saturday’s arrival

Seven days are much too long

It seems, for romance and survival.

The daily correspondence

A phone call here and there

Communication, instigation

I warn my heart beware.

Tomorrow night to our delight

The moon the fullest yet

Unravels still another part

As our fifth date will transcend.

To move beyond and out and in

Explore the depths and settle in

Converse a course of consequence

And know that love begins

With chance meetings not intended

Not rehearsed or early ended

But with open hearts and hopes and sparks

Attraction’s law defended.
