my love, a daisy ...

yes -- A daisy
the sweet innocence
of romance as it begins...
We may not be as intended
but the innocence
and simplicity
of moving into each others arms,
and falling, no -- leaping
without regret
without fear
from the clifftop
uncertain if the light we are jumping into
will catch us,
or if it is merely the afterglow
of other couples
who have crashed and burned
before us.
