Dare To Love Poem by Santhi Janardanan

Sometimes I feel it's right and sometimes it's wrong.
My soul yearns for it,
but my intellect refuses it.
My heart leaps and opens with joy
but my mind warns and I close with shyness.
The pain of continuing it is also a pleasure worth rejoicing.

Inside I am all for it welcoming the truth and outside I dismiss it as fake and a lie.
Being mindful in life, I would dismiss your love forever.
but with all my heart, I would love you forever and ever.
