Never....
anguished ending before
even a beginning
restless ripples of hurt's
gripping turmoil
disbelieving manifests
beside past regrets
that welled inside unshed tear

Hope
amidst feelings, emotions suddenly
to the surface and heart brought
belie yearnings like gypsy dances
with no mercies for betrayed arrival

Chance
silenced before ever courted
or gently, sweetly awoken
sand barred from any echoes
of secret dreams or caressing
winds of rising tide achingly
soul kissed with no shore to claim
