Breaking Down Love

Glad are words not spoken out of fear
For all that comes from truth is near
Our hearts would not know love… if not
For such loneliness at times are brought
Into your eyes I gaze with understanding
At times when there is no comprehending
For what’s inside us cannot remain for long
Chained to a rock be love right or wrong
Trust is something that can break us free
Allowing me to love you and you to love me

Love is more a song than fear or a math equation. It requires a sense of poetry and passion to be any good at it, which is why people who are stuck in their heads struggle and are frustrated by it and fear it, and lovers prefer songs to syllogisms (Song of Solomon, all of it).

Trust is a major aspect of opening ones self to another enabling each to unfold like petals of a flower. Metaphorically speaking... each petal is a layer allowing depth and dimension to a relationship. If the flower doesn't trust that the sun will shine or be there the flowers growth is stunted and it wilts away it grows no more.

"Trust is something that can break us free
Allowing me to love you and you to love me".

Beautifully said thank you for sharing this.

Hi, Yankee4you,
Your poem has me wondering, does trust allay fear or rather provide the courage necessary to walk toward love in spite of it? Thanks for sharing.

when fear turns into trust maybe...just can't be in both places at the same time ....
