The Fear Of Love Poem by Lora Colon

The Fear Of Love

Rating: 4.4


Your love flowed gently over me,
Like a wave caressing the shore,
Touching me... then covering me...
Leaving me begging for more

Your love, a magical potion,
Cleansing the wounds in my heart,
An elixir straight from heaven
That invited the healing to start

Your love, the fire I always dreamed
Would warm my winter night,
My sun... appearing in the rain,
To my darkness, bringing the light

Your love, a melody divine,
Love's symphony played anew,
My heart arranged each tender note....
The song that I heard was you

Your love, a perfectly sculpted rose
An angel laid at my feet,
Dare I press it to my heart....
Will the perfume still be sweet?

Your love... I wonder, will it endure....
How long can a dream survive?
Why do doubt and fear interpose...
Waiting for despair to arrive?

Your love, a wreath that heaven wove
And placed upon my head,
Yet, I'm gripped by fear this chain of love
Is no more than a slender thread

The chain of love is just a slender thread.... it's your perception but can be very much generalized. Loved this beautiful poem.
