Unknown Joy

There is promise in your eyes.

A chance at joys unknown.

I'll ride the ripple of time between us,

for I know what I see,

for I know what I feel.

It is all true.

Unspoken words fill the distance.

A multitude of possibilities,

the outcome still unsure.

It is the hope therein,

behind the smile and beating heart.

Warmth, depth, love contained,

both chaste and wild,

strong but neglected.

There is promise in your eyes.

And a chance for joys unknown.
