A Leap For Love Poem by Mary Havran
A Leap For Love
One who fears the heights
And another lone of heart
Struggled from isolation’s depths
Hoping to make a fresh start
One who always occupied
The same solitary spaces
Through a curious window found
Another who traveled to many places
One who never really searched
For a lifetime counterpart
Dared make a real connection with
One who knew more of Love’s Art
One who never tried, yet true
One who tried and lost a few
Steeled themselves as small steps they took
To precipice’s edge to risk a look
Two having weighed the risk
Of making promises to keep
Held hands and shared a smile
Then together took the leap
One and One became One
On Leap Year Day 2004
Instead of the separate Two
That they had been before
So if you are thinking of
Taking just such a leap
For the sake of sharing love
That’s both true and deep
On Leap Year Day in 2008
Leap, Leap, I say!
Leap! Marriage is great!
Leap! Leap! Leap!
Leap! Don’t hesitate!
A highly optimistic and fun poem. I like your mathematical deduction; one plus one equals one. Love and marriage...congrats!
Now there is an idea. ha ha Just when I thought I would be on my own forever, you have put ideas in my head. Lovely poem Mary, It has such a wonderful appeal in every line. Now I best go and pencil in the 29th for a night out. Sue xx (sad soul I am)
It certainly makes life easy when you have a good companion. Thanks for the wonderful poem.
Mary, It becomes for many reader favourite poems... To all who will listen your fine to 'slogan', I wish Successful planting..... Tsira
I took the leap at 23 and did not regret it at all. Marriage is indeed great where love is being shared! A 10.
'So screw your courage to the sticking place and you'll not fail' Lady Macbeth's words come to mind (in another context, of course he he) as I read your uplifting words about love and the importance of taking risks to achieve it. A warm-hearted poem that reveals a lot about the writer in a light-hearted expression of togetherness. A 'jolly' little poem. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
