Love Poem: Fall Into the Chasm

Fall Into the Chasm



You won’t even try to meet me halfway,
your vertigo fears 
are faintly voiced from a far distance

You’re scared to go across
the abyss of a possible pulmonary disappointment ...
Fearful of the waterfalls 
from another failed emotional investment

Falling in love ... again;
these unsettling, thrilling thoughts 
give you such height phobia fright
Steamy daydreams of falling into the volcanic chasm,
covers you with cold sweat shudders at night

Now I understand your trembling trepidation,
leap of faith hesitation is an honest reaction
Letting go of being pulse vulnerable
takes a lot of sensitive courage

Don’t be afraid to cross this new, unknown threshold
Let the bridge of hope unfold:
Taste the sweet joy  ~  chocolate kisses of gold

Fear not ... fall into the chasm
Reach for my heart, which is stretched out;
for in this passionate free-fall,
trust will slow those swirling doubts
And gently place us over the tear rainbow

Let us fall into the chasm together,
rushing upward 
towards the beautiful light forever
Always letting each other know — 
that this down-to-earth love ...
each dawn, 
will ever stronger grow
