Agoraphobia

No walls!  Naked space
And panic born of openness,
Where we confront love’s dread expanse.

Beware!  Terror-place
Of freedom where our hearts undress,
And too much candor kills Romance.

Retreat!  Go—retrace
Our trail and trek where fear is less,
And sentiment (old-fashioned) has a chance.
