love again

i'm almost scared to love you

more scared to not even try

though i know this will end too

in a flurry of goodbyes

the warmth that surrounds me now

my body in your embrace

my heart to you i endow

then you'll leave without a trace

despite my fears screaming loud

in this love i will stand tall

lifted from me is this shroud

will you catch me if i fall

Author's Note

i haven't attempted to write poems in almost two years, and decided to write this in 15mins... enjoy lmao

Yes dear Evelynn. Love can be scary. We worry about the ending, at the beginning.

I liked the above lines. We need people near who show us kindness and concern. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Hi
Everyone knows who is who.
When people know who they are
People will be with them
People did enjoyed with whom they like
When people thought people may fail
They tried to continue life with
But when people recovered why they are forgetting who they are. Even if that desire is taking cunningness dont they know that will end them. Fear desire stampon are words they live for. True people know who they are definitely stand for their love, no one will touch boundaries of others though they may try to block o4 hurt or kill.

Not bad. Your attention to prosody is far better than most who post metrical poetry here.

The only negative thing I can say is that in S4L3, "shroud" seems out of place, and used only because of the need for a rhyme for "loud." After all, one hardly ever embraces when wearing a shroud. 😆

I enjoyed this. It is a scary thing to think about falling, but scarier to consider never falling. ~Jim

Being scared to love and being scared not to are the most conflicting feelings and thoughts a person can have
