Risk Assessment Poem by Ria Villaflor

You threw a stone , created a ripple .
A movement that caused my boat to wiggle
You have a sultry smile that gave me a nervous giggle
and I am sure your piercing stare can make me a cripple


I wonder , looking at my reflection ,
where is the start of this fascination .
then things happened against my usual circumspection
that made me realize how my heart needs some protection


don't get me wrong , i'm amazed you happened.
i'm grateful for my heart that was gladdened
but this is where unrealistic dreams are abandoned
even though love is way better than what I imagined


so this is goodbye . we can try again ... someday perhaps
