Is Your Heart On Ice?

Is your heart on ice? Are you willing to pay the price That it costs to make it thaw To jump into Love’s waiting maw? Have you got a fear of heights, But fear far less the lonely nights That living without Love would bring Alone in darkness, afraid to sing? How do we find ourselves like this, Getting close, but afraid of bliss? Has someone chewed your heart to bits, And it, in a locked container sits? If “One bitten, and twice shy” Has you now afraid to try Will you ever learn to sing Love’s song, while you are on a swing? Or are you too scared to fall So that you won’t risk it all? Your heart is tougher than you think It can recover in a blink Once it begins to pump again, You’ll forget about past pain. How do you get it to start? That is really the fun part! You will hear many tips, But I think it only takes two lips Exploring yours without a care Enjoying every moment there. If you use a little tongue It will make you feel quite young And wild to feel such emotion A mind massage, without lotion! If you think where it will lead, And that thought you thus heed, Romance will die in a minute Love is lost, you will not win it. True Love is something that you feel, It matters not if it is real, It cannot exist alone, Like calling yourself on the phone! It takes another willing soul To let you see the picture whole. Once you both get into it, At the sidelines, you’ll not sit! Soon you will sing Love’s praises, Although there are concerns it raises. Will this person love me for all time? Or for an interlude sublime? In point of fact, it matters not, What you wanted to get, you got! Your heart again, it is beating, Even as your love is retreating. That person did an angel’s job, And did not steal or rob, And gave you once again A reason to say “Amen.”
