Love Poem: One More Time

One More Time

One more time,  I tell myself,  just one more
her words slither inside me trying to slam our door
precisely picked   perfectly written and rhymed
my tears well up again as if it were the first time

Gazing out into the last rays of the setting sun
candles lit  prayers unanswered  alone as one
beseeching darkness  be dismissed of your duty
begging for just one more chance at this beauty

A glimpse  I swear I saw  a glimpse of her
A scarlet streak silhouettes across her hair
revealing stolen moments from yesteryear
hidden behind the guise of days spent apart
trying to hold together a fluttering fragile heart

One more time  I tell myself  just one more time
our simple love can begin to grow and bud sublime
