Love is a risky business,
It demands a level head.
You must choose a partner wisely,
Or you might wish that you were dead.
If you trust your intuition,
It should help you lead the way.
If you go into it blindly,
You can bet you'll rue the day.
But if you meet someone special,
Don't hold back the way you feel.
When your heart is fully open,
Then they'll know your love is real.
Take it from me, for this I know,
Don't turn your heart to stone.
The path will be a bitter end,
And you'll wind up all alone.
The waiting room, we go into it
Intuit
Says fear and what ifs await
A weight
Hangs heavy 'pon shoulders
Smolders
Then sags, lips droop, eyes dim
Brim
With tears until
'Til
The doctor says all is well
Well!
An Echo Verse poem. A novelty type of verse. I thought I would give it a try.

What is love?
How many people ask this question? What are the answers we get? Love is work, love is worth it. Anyone would do anything in the name of love. But what is it really?
We are shown in movies, books and t.v. what love is perceived to be.
But that is what it seems to be to me, a perception.
We perceive what we want to see and yearn for it. The idea of love.
We do not see the struggles that go into it and think it is still love.
Is it possible it may just be lust exaggerated?
What happens when that lust goes away?
Why is it so hard to say you like someone than it is to say you love them?
When people feel they are in deep lust they say I love you, only to see how different they really are than what you perceived them to be.
Once lust is gone you are with someone you hope to be able to tolerate with.
Maybe it would be better to say I like you and tolerate you instead of I love you?
Who am I to know, I am still trying to figure it out.
I won't go into it
The when , why and how
Let's just say i got injured
and leave it at that
And when i recovered i tried again
and failed
Still they persisted with me and told me my Dad to bring me back because i obviously must have had talent
But i failed again until i eventually gave up
Because i has lost my bottle and
so to with it my confidence
It's true what they say fortune favours the brave
Whereas the faint of heart and scared
Sit slumped on bar stools and tell losers stories
Darkness surrounds me.
If I go into it, I will never return.
But inside there is a fire of rage and destruction that will consume me if I stay.
I feel trapped.
With no way out alive.
But I must try each day.
And try
And try
And...
God why do I have this nagging feeling
That I don’t know what to do?
I really don’t know what to do
I am kind of nervous
Because I don’t know how and what I should do
Are you going to guide me?
I remember one time before that I let you guide me
And did it afraid
It turned out good
So there Lord I will let you guide me
And go into it afraid
Okay Lord here I go
It’s all up to you
She’s Susan’s younger sister
Karen is her name.
Although I don’t see her much
I love them both the same.
Karen is an Army wife
That’s why she’s not around.
She’s stationed many miles away
In a U.S. Army compound.
She’s the mother of four grandkids
And I sure love all four.
I wish they lived much closer
So I could enjoy them more.
Karen has a handicap
A physical one - in fact
But I won’t go into it
Cause it doesn’t hold her back!
I know if she lived close by
There’s no doubt in my mind
That if I really needed her
She would not be hard to find.
However - distance won’t allow
And that’s the way I see it.
Physically Karen can’t be there
But she’ll be there in spirit!
Both girls are angels in my eyes
On that I will stand firm.
But there is just one difference
And that I will affirm.
The difference is that Sue’s nearby
And Karen’s far away.
But I love them both with all my heart
That all that I can say!
:
You and Lori just couldn't
stand each other.
So,you came home,to be
with your mother.
You both have played me,
for a fool.
To do that to your mother,
just isn't cool.
You and Lori played both
ends against the middle.
To get releif,I had to solve
the riddle.
Two years have gone by,
and you still have a love,
that will not last.
Why,don't you just forget
it,and leave it in the past.
I know you still love her,
as much as a golf club
putter.
So,don't you lie to me,
or even stutter.
The love you seek,you
will never find.
Because you go into it,
so very blind.
If you both would grow
up,and get your head
on straight.
A good life you would
have,and wouldn't that be great.
The more people you use,
the more you'll lose.
The more you lose,the
shorter your fuse.
So,you see,I knew
everything all along.
Just remember,I tried
to tell you,and I'm not
always wrong.
If you're still going to
see Lori,and you feel
your starting to smother.
For heavens sake,don't
just sit there,go out some
where,and find another.
