Little mistakes

Little mistakes.
Harmless little stumbles.
The biting of tongue,
Apologetic mumbles.

In a serious life,
Of rhyme and reason.
A little cheating,
A bit of treason.

The heart aflutter,
The stolen smile.
The hidden joy,
For a little while.

The sweet pain,
Of a deliberate fall.
Lasting happiness, 
of momentary enthrall.

Life pulls back,
Logic unbent.
The unopened bud dies,
 Romance unspent.
