Love Lost

Fear,
Your hold
on my heart
through all these years
has not lost its strength,
it forms an iron bond
stifling my love for you.
Hearts, like all delicate things need
a big portion of tender caring,
lest the love that lives there shrivels and dies.

I remember feeling the excitement
when first our eyes met, electric sparks
that flew from me to you, bright blue!
raging fire, head to toes,
I felt alive and free,
bubbling champagne
thundering falls
fire-works
sky dives
Love!
