Gamble

[Doreen Peri]

The quality of a moment
is measured by ideal inches,
minute hands second to second
ticks of fate and if you wait
too long for miracles,
you will create a flight
of precious time, the night,
your only companion,
the dark, your friend,
and in the end
there will not be questions
of why but interjections
of perhaps.

Love is a Saturday night Reno gamble.
Sometimes its a sweet suite,
other times it's craps.

yes there is risk involved with initiating connection
i have many thoughts of what if......
wondering why I didn't pursue a strong possibilty
take a chance

[sasha]

afraid of a misstep
sure I was misreading signals
assuming the worst
I stayed safe in my burrow -
wondering now...
what if I hadn't?
