Love Poem: Yes

Yes

Yes
  I will go on this ride
  cling to my safety harness
  overcome my phobia of heights
  ignore those screams from the colossus-
  are they screams of terror, or screams of joy?
Yes
  I will embrace the uncertainty
  brace myself for every twisting turn
  each stomach-dropping, breath-stopping
  heartbeat of sheer acceleration exhilaration 
  as the tension mounts, she reaches for my hand
  do I speak of riding a roller coaster or falling in love?
Yes
