Afraid

Afraid.

My heart beats softly,
afraid for it to say hello.

Afraid if I breathed,
you would turn away laughing,
or worse...pretending you loved me.

I like the short and sweet image you create with a few words. That is the power of expression.

Gentle, soft and hard words to write and think. Thank you Ron for sharing the amazing poetry.

Your poem is well thought out, and full of emotion.

Either way, the heart has been stirred and when stirred all we can do is leap and take that chance. Some things are worth the risk, I think and if we never take a risk the heart will forever ask for clarification, better to know :)

Thank you. I agree.

Lovely, simply lovely. It was rather meaningful, I really enjoyed it, though the last line's tense was a bit off nonetheless it was still lovely.
