Fear of being near The silence rocks me as a boat, and I'm unsure how long I'll float. I seek the joys of life and love, but I am scared like a tiny dove. As soon as someone comes real near, I sprint away in real great fear. I'm like an apple so fresh within with a soft and tender, a fragile skin So easy to breach for the hungry beasts and there it burrows deep down and feasts Eating away at my heart and soul until I become a living ghoul The silence rocks me as a boat it is dipping and turning but still afloat I still seek the joys of life and love but for now I'll wait in my little cove As soon as someone comes real near I'll try to swallow my numbing fear gJ -- "Luck affects everything.

I think we all feel this way sometimes, this is a good expression of that feeling! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

I fear the outside world but I have a love that I can depend on to take care of me. |

FlyHigh~ This little jewel was tucked away on the back pages - I'm so glad I was browsing.  'I'm like an apple so fresh within with a soft and tender, a fragile skin' What a lovely thought. Peeling that apple will let others enjoy the freshness within. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Fear can be a good thing at times...but not if it keeps you from reaching out and finding love...sure you are gonna get hurt...but when you find that one...that special one...all that past pain just drifts away like smoke on a summer breeze |
