An early work based on a new romance that had a tentative start... fortunately it has blossomed magnificently!

Why chance
to open one’s heart
at the risk of loss
of invested feelings?

Guarded hearts 
do not get wounded
but neither do they soar
like eagles on the wind

To risk is to gain
or sometime lose
but less loss than 
never having wings
