I stop myself from telling all.
I fear that he would be appalled.
I'm half afraid he'll go away.
The other half's afraid he'll stay.
I fear he'll look me in the eyes
with no reprieve of compromise.
And just suppose he took my hand?
He'd feel me shake. He'd understand
the full effect he has on me.
I'm so afraid he just might see...
and even if I followed bliss,
what if he should want a kiss?
And should we kiss, oh what then?
Must I choose lover over friend?
If indeed we would make love?
I fear I could not get enough...
with just the thought of his sweet eyes--
I could not see, I'd be quite blind,
(don't make me look - I know I'll cry.)
shivers born within his sighs...

his whispers? ELECTRICITY.
A resonation deep inside...
this fluttering, this quickening -
Of love? I'm terrified.

if you were lonely
maybe we could leave here
and no one would know
at least not to the point where we would think so..."

Maybe he's terrified too!
Love your poem so I thought
I would write this from his view
For you
________________________________
She Holds My Courage

Oh my! There she is
I need some guidance where's the Wiz
I have a brain but where do I start
She holds my courage she found my heart

I should have told her but I lied
Does the meaning of love mean "terrified"
But I'm not yellow like this road
I certainly love her and she must be told

Here she comes what do I do
She looks at me with eyes so true
I'll aim, close my eyes I'd better not miss
I hope she'll fall in love from this kiss

it built up pace with the flow and rhyme..
way cool ... way

Poetry is not an opinion expressed ...
It is a song that rises from a bleeding wound ...
or a smiling mouth.

Boy, did you read my mind or what?  This is excellent, serenity!

hey? y'know what? me too... LOL... well? you're only scared of 2 things... things which you know have hurt you in the past and things which you can't figure out and love is both of them..... so? what's the answer? ... keep writing poetry like this and one day you'll probably know it and when you do, let me know, k? 'cause i'm still here trying to figure it out... what's the question, lucy?... let's ask harpo! *grin...

all this to say... great writing, ms. k!

Serenity~
I just adore this lilting little piece.

And now some of that 'mom' advice -
If it feels THAT good -
DO IT TWICE !

Yep, that's what she said !
