Fear of Free Falling

Pounding against the shore My heart beats Filling up my face, my hands, my cheeks with heat Tears begin to role. Tumbling down, like fireballs. Passionate …igniting, reviving as it goes Why oh why! Am I at despair? Vulnerable! Exposed! My heart stripped bare An open book for you to read Yet shaken up with despair I feel The thunder of doubt begins to creep Never have I embarked on this before Yet unknowingly, deep down I yearn! I crave for more A sea of contemplation, an abyss of hazy expectations Pounding against the shore my heart beats Filling my face, my cheeks, my hands… As you go, with heat Rising me to utmost crest Elevating higher then Mount Everest Loving you more all the way But yet! I dare not undrape my sentiments For you, like others might not cradle them For fear of freefalling Yet….i hear your heart shrieking out my name Half shocked, half heart, I am to blame.
