I wrote this poem last year and read it again a while ago. I think its my favorite thing that I've ever written. It was inspired by Pride and Prejudice but since has taken on my own story. Now it is even more a story of forgiveness and letting love wash over hurt.
Duel
A raindrop falls upon her countenance,
One exquisite drop, like a precious jewel.
It's wholesome goodness descends like a trance;
Yet nagging emotions inside her duel.
A fear of attachment, a fear to trust;
Qualms jostle, emotions a tangled web.
Meanwhile he stares into her eyes nonplused,
Confusion and doubt slowly flow and ebb.
Obdurate to prevent a world of hurt;
But nothing risked for love is nothing gained.
Gently placing her hand upon his shirt,
And her beautifully graceful neck craned
One notion emerges over the rest:
Love conquers, with one kiss 'tis now professed.
