The Shores of Alone

How much do you dare
to love me?
(Oh yes, I'm worth it)
You want me, I know.
It's no small thing, our desire;
our chemical attraction,
the fever we have for eachother.
But do you dare to love me
a little?
Sexuality is no threat,
continuity can be maintained.
Status quo a-ok.
I know I'm supposed to be
your goodtime girl.
But what happens
if you love me?

Cat...I wish I knew, but men are such one-celled creatures...usually it's all or nothing with us.  Your poem is sure to cause some serious thought.  Hardrock

Ahhh... a god question indeed. Such a dangerous, yet compelling thing, that "L" word... A tough one to reach, a tough one to hold. Perhaps easier to ask the question, than to answer!

Oh I loved this! and it reminded me so much of the song..I fooled around and fell in love...must of been through about a million girls, loved them and leave them alone...ok I won't sing it, but oh how true...love is not always the plan but it happens for sure. This one get yous thinking.

I was in a realashonship like that once and I dared to ask the very same question....with bad results....
Anyway- enough about me, more about your great poem! I loved the way you expessed the tentitiveness and shakyness in the couples realahionship...becase without love, everything falls apart!
Great poem
