A Second Chance Poem by Linda Farino-Bokitko Lagnese

A second chance for love and romance begins; cradling unspoken words and actions..... undoubtedly a story for the ages.... a matrix of challenges.

One of them lives with regrets and the other a ravishing bitterness over their unfortunate missteps and unfinished business. Parting and leaving behind what could Have possibly been more than one could imagine.

As their fate brings them to collide once again, a return to an enigma of making the same mistakes; as destiny revealing only its true self;  both in a futile attempt to express their true love and enfettered devotion, trying to understand this unbridled love they both still feel…

Persuasion lives again in a modern day second chances suddenly realizing they don't have that much time left.... a gentle whisper....of yesterday...calling them….Enticing them to relive each caressing memory…

Pandora's box now opened, a lifetime of silent suffering for each of them….Forgiveness still not on equal footing, still confronting a desire that burns eternal….a passion that engulfs each of them…

As pain and sadness slowly melts away, only to reveal something that only comes along once in a thousand years....

As one heart.. bonding as one soul….
Still tethered to one another for eternity…

Always
Linda
