              Do I Dare

Do I dare to wallow in this romantic bliss...
Can I dream the surreal visions
of all the love I have missed.

I am older now,
and hopefully more sage.
Will this fantasy finally reach
the precipe of longing,
and unlock this lonely cage?

It is a tender journey,
to seek a new love.
But the trepidation reflects a history
of mistakes...
Is this another that fate will draw me to make?

I barely know you,
but my heart is full of butterflies.
Is this the Shan-gri-la of fulfillment,
...or just one of my many fairytale lies...

If we only knew before we got involed then maybe we could save ourselves from being hurt. But I guess we still ave to try. Nice poem tho.

You don't have a choice to die but you do have a choice how you meet it.

Moon Dust,
    Thank you for reading. We never know, do we?  We just have to give fate a chance sometimes. But it hurts so much if we get burned.  Ouch! Thanks for your sweet reply

Did you know that Grits & Eggs are wonderful? And we never quite know how a chocolate covered morsel in a fancy box is gonna turn out either...but we go for it don't we - I think loves just the same...go for it, enjoy it, however long it last.

Good write my friend
