FRIGHTENED
by R.D. Snow (Dec 2019)
they say
falling in love is foolish
but I say
a frightened heart just longs to be loved
and I wait
will shadows become overly brightened
or sweeten the scent of the blood
I wonder what it's like to be enlightened
or swim naked in the final flood
at the gate
If falling in love is a wine softly ripened
I'm frightened for I have not yet loved
