Amorous love -a dangerous thing
– a face-dive off the cliff of reason
without promise of soft landings
– a pot-pourri of emotionsYet risk it some do- time and again
that ceaseless search for validation
fearful hearts placed on butchers’ slabs
fervently hoping they remain intactOnce 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

I think under the right circumstances it is important to take that risk and jump of that cliff. After all, someone once said, it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved before.🙂
Ps. Beautiful write up as always Vee😘

We need to take risks… but some caution is needed… not so much because we need a reason but because of the risk of treason

I think we all have. Not nice if it ends in a splat!

Oh yes, a perfect analogy, Viv. I’m not sure I’d want to take a face-dive off the cliff of reason these days – I don’t think I’d even like a glimpse off the top. :).

I have jumped off that cliff a couple of times sans parachute, net, etc. I’m glad I am through jumping!
