The Next Chance – The Poetry Monster

by Alicja Kuberska

Carmine roses bloom in the midst of winter ,

Drowsy violets peak from under leaves

And daisies stand white in the grass.

The sun heats the earth

And brightens short days with a warm glow.

I notice tenderly embraced lovers in a park.

Gracious fate gives them one more chance

For an unexpected meeting.

Eyes, surrounded by rays of wrinkles, laugh.

Wind ruffles hair, tosses delicate

Silver threads of gossamer.

And so, unannounced, tardy love arrived

They have the choice of a new path,

Maybe a last chance for happiness.

Life took away their naïve faith

And burned away old feelings.

It left them some dreams

And much hope for a better tomorrow

They are lost in thoughts

Doubts and fears spring up

From the shadows like ghouls

The head says: no….it’s not worth it….think it over…

The heart says-yes…go forwards…fall in love..

Nature has stopped the hands of the clock.

Red hearts bloom.
