Fear of Love!

On a chilly winter morning,

I write this love ballad

So may you dance and sing,

Celebrate the fear of love!

Solomon sang a while ago,

Love is strong as death

Its jealousy unyielding as the grave,

Who could love such a love?

A feeling no better than this,

Be loved, cared, valued and thought,

And feel the fright for your loved soul,

Who could love such a love?

In the growth of life arises this need,

To belong to someone and reduce to half,

Courage falls weak at this sight,

Who could love such a love?

As the vision travels in times ahead,

A face sparkles, a hand holds you through,

The quest for this soul began in long past,

Tell me! Who could love such a love?

The fright to loose, and be forgotten,

Lingers each day through, killing you,

The emotion is far too complex, too deep.

Who could love such a love?

I fear such a feeling, the emotion,

Exposing my deepest self,

Where love and wrath abode,

Who could love such a love? 

In the paths of the future and past,

Where the memories and visions last,

I search for a reason to still love,

And fall in the fear of this love!
