Linda-Marie Sweetheart Poet Rhyme

Fear of - Not Enough Love

     "Fear of - Not Enough Love"



love is the key to living a valuable life
one fear plaguing my mind is not sharing love enough
embracing every heart; thus eliminating strife
through good times, but moreso, when things get rough.

fear remains a strong emotion holding one captive
a prisoner entrapped in flesh and bone
sweet love erases fear for humans are reactive
to a soft touch surrounding a soul who feels alone.

i shutter to realize so many dwell in pain
from lonely thoughts of being pushed aside
my fear of not extending love and leaving them in vain
so everyone would enjoy that special glow inside.

with my fearless persona, I find a way to give
a golden opportunity to lend a helping hand
encircle those who have a need with a great will to live
and fear will be defeated through love in life so grand.


*For Tanya Harris's What's Your Fear? Contest.

Rachel St.Cross October 24, 2012 at 12:58 PM * Tis Sooo Beautiful Your Love, Sweet Beautiful LindaMarie. My Heart's Belief Also That, 'Love Is The Answer,' Unto All Which Ails Plagues And Encumbers, Countless Souls As Lives. Perhaps Why I Am Sooo Drawn To 'Your Beauty,' Beautiful Linda. Since Viewing Your Brilliant Bright Words I Have Beheld Clearly, This 'Beautiful Love,' Your Radiance So Speaks Of Here Within, Deja Vu Splendours. "Beautiful." Sweet Kisses To You, Always, Dipped In Love, Rachel *
