Amorous love -a dangerous thing
– a face-dive off the cliff of reason
without promise of soft landings
– a pot-pourri of emotions

Yet risk it some do- time and again
that ceaseless search for validation
fearful hearts placed on butchers’ slabs
fervently hoping they remain intact

Once in a while, we see two hearts as one
beating in sync, throbbing in rhythm
giving us hope of a future – tempting
a face-dive off the cliff of reason
