Do I dare

Do I dare , tell her how much I care

About the secret that I bare

The times I look at her

And how long at her picture I stare

 

Do I dare, call her name

Do I dare, open my heart again

Or be safe with my hidden shame

Do I dare to bare my silent pain

 

Do I dare, tell how sweet is her laughter

How much I want to die for her

And live for her forever and ever after

Do I dare not to be scare

 

Do I dare, get close enough to embrace

Close enough to share the air

Kiss her angelic face

And get lost in her hair

 

But do I dare tell you a lie

Do I dare to lie and swear

Cross my heart and hope to die

And say you’re not her

 

And do I dare hide my joy

Every time I see your face

A Christmas for a boy 

Who forgot both time and place

 

Do I dare, not to dare all those men you knew

Who tried to reach for your heart, those who fight for you

Do I dare to step back, that I’ll never do

And do I dare to dream of you, when I live in solitude

I like what this says, the see-saw of uncertainty and daring... nicely done on that part. I think the structure could use some work; when read aloud the flow is a bit clumsy, perhaps because of trying to force the rhyme. Rhyming and meter is always hard work, so great effort with this. Best of luck in the contest...

Do you or not!? This is intense love, a drive through the indesiciveness of the heart and emotions!
Wonderfully voiced!
Two steps forward, fifty back! lol

Very sweet :)

[Cherrie]

this is the story and struggle of life to set back or move forward

Those secrets we hold will always haunt us. Sometime we must be brave. Question what or where? Can the sweet dream and you can become? Life is filled with many surprises. I like the story and I hope for s better ending. A excellent poem.

Yes I dare lolz! Nicely done a cute little poem and showing expressions of how you feel nicely said!

[Wicahpi]

a few spelling errors, for example (stair, should be stare),
(scare, should be scared). Other than that this is an
expressive poem of 'should I' or 'should I not'.
Thank you for entering "Longing For Love" contest.
Good Luck
