Eve Roper Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

              

Don'T Be Afraid To Love

Don't Be Afraid To Love

I drew him into my twirling, swirling drowning world
Not conscious to a one sided love dream-world

How can it be love, in a place that it’s just one- sided love affair?
To fall into the hands of rape an entrapped snare

To lace each other’s fingers an embrace tenderly
A rage of madness sea of lust is free

Empty soul and numb from madness exorcisms
Flashbacks from the past autumns

~

He touched my soul with kindness and compassion
Years of secrets locked up in a vault now unlocked with passion

To feel warmth race of each other’s deepened passion
Encasing two loving hearts as one beacon

I have learned a whole new way of life in a new world leaving the past disappear
To see the beauty between darkness and light of the stars without fear

My beloved gave me courage to see
The future belongs to me, to allow my heart to heal and feel free
