Fall Into the Chasm
You won’t even try to meet me halfway,
your vertigo fears
are faintly voiced from a far distance
You’re scared to go across
the abyss of a possible pulmonary disappointment ...
Fearful of the waterfalls
from another failed emotional investment
Falling in love ... again;
these unsettling, thrilling thoughts
give you such height phobia fright
Steamy daydreams of falling into the volcanic chasm,
covers you with cold sweat shudders at night
Now I understand your trembling trepidation,
leap of faith hesitation is an honest reaction
Letting go of being pulse vulnerable
takes a lot of sensitive courage
Don’t be afraid to cross this new, unknown threshold
Let the bridge of hope unfold:
Taste the sweet joy ~ chocolate kisses of gold
Fear not ... fall into the chasm
Reach for my heart, which is stretched out;
for in this passionate free-fall,
trust will slow those swirling doubts
And gently place us over the tear rainbow
Let us fall into the chasm together,
rushing upward
towards the beautiful light forever
Always letting each other know —
that this down-to-earth love ...
each dawn,
will ever stronger grow
