Like Jen Yu

Standing, trembling
facing the abyss
of your heart calling
me in. You are
the giant
who inspires me, you are
the scent 
of my forgotten thoughts, you are
the flame
that consumes my logic. The sound
of your steps in my soul
blissfully scares me.

There is nothing
left but
to jump into the unknown
where your arms and smile are
waiting
for me to be
chasing my dreams.

Reluctance. More than reluctance - fear! I like the idea of helplessness. Congrats on the selection. daver

Thank you Sylvia! I used to write a loooong time ago... now I'm resuming it as an outlet for my feelings. It's a pleasure to "vomit" this stuff out.. it really is therapeutic to me. Intense feelings need a way out :)
