Bumpy Ride

PerditaRose

It's such a bumpy ride,

The way I feel inside.

Not knowing what to think,

I'm standing on the brink.

I'd like to understand.

I need to take your hand.

I really must confess 

I might just make a mess.

Then who will clean it up,

When I say who knows what?

I wish I could stay calm,

No reason for alarm.

I've never felt this way.

I don't know what to say.

It's really no big deal.

I'll just say how I feel.

I think you feel the same.

So, I won't be ashamed.

When I say, "I love you"

To hope you love me, too.

I'll keep my fingers crossed

That I will win my cause.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Some of these couplets are almost interchangeable, if not hackneyed. I'm trying to keep it light for awhile. P.s. - I guess my description of this poem was a little harsh. I do take my writing seriously. But when I compare it to something I wrote recently (and have since deleted), it isn't as intense. THAT poem very personal AND extreme. So, I really don't want to plumb those waters for awhile.

    The minefield of love.
    One must wear gloves.
    Hope the other is in agree.
    And if not.
    Let it be.

    A poem about getting one's feet on solid ground before taking any risks. A lovely poem of trepidation and patience. The time will come to open up and take risks. A wonderful write
