Taking a chance on love

To kiss your lips as sweet as wine
To find your hand enclosed in mine
To walk where both our paths align
And forge a love that’s boundless.

These are the dreams for us to fashion
Our hearts await with so much passion
To leave our footprints everlasting
Along the shore around us.

Words cannot define our feelings
Tears cannot know their source
The moon cannot replace
One smile from your face
Nor will it ever shine in remorse.

We’ve travelled far in separate days
With discontent in many ways
We’ve yet to set the woods ablaze
It’s time to kick up a fuss.

Let us lay down a marker
Put our love to the test
Let our souls reach for new destinations
And somewhere between the lean and serene
May we kindle our new celebrations.

Love’s rewarding mystery is not in its history
But in the how we accept romance
‘Tis better to have tried 
With our hearts still untied
Than never to have taken a chance..
