Take Courage Poem by Gordon D Wilkinson

Are we at opposite sides?
Other sides of lovers’ street
Walking in opposite directions
Merely pausing resting for a moment
As the clock ticks do, we continue away
Watching each other fade into the distance
Too worried about wagging tongues
Maybe frightened of the past
Unsure about another commitment
Ghosts that have never left
Drawing apart what could be
Stop, think and walk back
Cross into the middle of destiny
Take hold with both hands
Grasp everything
Never letting go
Hold life by the throat
Squeezing out every dropp of pleasure
Take courage to ban the past
Courage to walk into an unknown future
Just sure, that two can become one
Two halves becoming complete again
Melded together in passion
Mixing edges to a perfect joint
Unbreakable
Forever one
