Romance

 

my heart is such

a tender thing...

it trusts so easily...

it leads me to

all loveliness

and errs repeatedly

so easy bruised...

oft black and blue...

it not a lesson learns...

I try to hide

to keep it safe

my efforts…all...it spurns

"are you quite mad?..."

I interject

"to face down danger so?"

"if we don't try

to learn to love...

how will we ever know?

it fills me with

such hopefulness

it weaves with threads of gold...

it fills me with

such longing ache...

my story yet untold

a glutton...yea...

for punishment

I'm wrong more than I'm right...

but I have been

loved once before...

I loved with all my might...

so small my heart…

it pounds away...

a titan in my chest…

and when it comes

to giving all...

it never need a rest...

it's not unscarred…

so often hurt

but ne'er a mortal blow…

my heart’s been down

but never out

there is one thing I know...

I trust my heart...

it knows and feels...

it wants unselfishly...

with it I love

with weak-kneed bliss…

and so abundantly...

I throw myself

into the fray…

I dare...I take the chance…

another hit

to get high on

this drug they call

"Romance...!"

I do agree, like you mentioned earlier young love is careless and free. However time changes a man's perspective about it, your has become more tender and careful. A person tries the best not to fall in love yet they do, because romance is an impeccable and indelible element of our lives. I enjoyed reading this, thanks for sharing. :)
