A pen's heartbeat

SCARED TO LOVE When love lurks, My heart leaps Like a frightened frog. I become like a bewildered teenager, Still toying with puberty. Love is not the thing I dread. My fears; I do not even know. But when love comes knocking, My heart keeps me behind closed doors. I want to embrace her, Making her stay strong And last long: But, my timid heart chooses to let go. It echoes again and again. What if love prang? What if love is just a passer-by? When these thoughts make my head to bang, I chose to leave the door shut. Driving love to bay And making her go away.  Photo Credit: Google chrome  By: FAVOUR AUGUSTINE

A tale of love and I is a reflection of our fears and insecurities about being vulnerable to loving someone. Nevertheless, we chose to embrace love someday. A TALE OF LOVE AND I I threw love a stone She took the throw And turned my stone Into a precious jewel. I threw love a golf She made it a weapon To shield and protect me When life trolls. I threw love a flower She brought back a bouquet A rose for every beat Petals of fragrance birthing peace I threw love a spark She made it a flame One that ever rekindles Burning in the depth of my heart. I threw love away She came again Calming my fears Telling me I was dear And that she will never fade away. I held love anyway Choosing to trust her again I drew her closer And made the veil of fear blow away. Photo Credit: Google Chrome  #Favour Augustine
