When Love Reckons For a Second Time
When love reckons for a second time,
like a drum, it comes on fast and hard and strong
until two hearts in synch beat passion’s song.
Sometimes second love may gently climb
or ease sure-footed to one’s door
where it sweetly seeps and saturates the soul.
Love the second time is strong and yet it’s soft.
It doesn’t sting or snip. It listens
and reverberates the whispers of the heart.
