In my most recent path <br />upon stumbled beauty and opportunity <br />my eyes met her with a friendly greeting <br />it was like when an eagle spots its prey <br />or when two love birds first hear the others song <br />my vision was stuck and unremoved <br />the time called for boldness to scream and answer <br />but like a computer coded with too much information <br />I froze, I was to make action then my boldness ran away <br />just as ink runs out of a writers pen <br />so did my boldness <br />run out through my ears <br /> <br />I was mad, angry, and upset <br />why couldn't I be Casanova and seduce my desires? <br />why couldn't I grab the hand of risk? <br />where only there possibility resides <br />she slowly drifted from my reach <br />where forever now she would be <br />my wholeness went from 12: 00 to 6: 30 <br />fear my only sin, courage's evil twin <br />for the rest of the night my heart sobbed <br />I was robbed and the thief was me! <br />I vowed never again, never again <br />then I let my heart be...<br /><br />Angelo Velasquez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/then-my-boldness-ran-away/
