Not Afraid To Love


I’m not afraid to love you
it’s my skin that gets so weak
but within your blush of heart
is the strength that I did seek
you are my true companion
and the one not looked for
you hold my life so tenderly
the very one that I adore
underneath all the smoke
a fire within me grows
poetry that was once a life
now lives in a world of prose
you are the tender hand of hold
as I have become your glove
somehow you cast away my fears
and I’m not afraid to love

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

Helen, this is so good to hear, Sweetie.
I'm so glad you have found a love that feels secure.
That's so important in love.
Hugs,
Ethel

Folks we've got a happy Helen here....don't it just make your toes wiggle, t'read things like this?

For this fella, well, you know how long I hoped right alongside you....to see life treat you the way you deserved. Now Ratleader looketh out upon it, and he doth see that it is good.

Funny how these things work out.  Sometimes life feels almost like magic.

Oh, you are so right in these thoughts...never be afraid to love, because love is so precious in this life, even if it has it's ups and downs.  A very special write...~S~

I'd like to feel this. And i hope this is not fiction, but real life for you.

Damned ladies of Orpheus
Your arias cause a stir in my sad
Sad and lonely heart
