It will be worth it,

the point from which
the embargo is lifted
and suitors can move in,

although
a brief span
in human years

that will lead to
grief and loneliness
at some ungodly age

but for now
it is founded
in pleasure and forward thinking,

as love
not blood

invisibly
traces your heart

with another’s finger

and you embrace
a measured eagerness

with eyes on a level

like the horizon sun

until one sets
most likely him.
