A Fear of Love

A Fear of Love


A fear of love is growing into the heart
The target will be not from eyes but 

Soared smoke up in the sky overwhelmed 
And tried coughing to shelter in my lap

Prior him I was ascertained by threats of death
Notice of warning were roaming in air with vim

Batons hit and volleys of bullets became out of range
Missiles were set as heard by radio in the evening

Claimed and unclaimed corpses were scattered
Vultures were dancing gloating feast fall

Evening bell rang heard far from untouched
What surety was there stay for tomorrow?

So I paid my heed to hear full heart
Ding dong ring rung was pleasant but

A fear of love is growing into the heart 
One by one will sink in the days to come in earth.
