The part of love that I'm scared of
Is the actual taking off
I can take a bumpy landing
But the start of it nice and soft
Some men need your attention
every minute, every hour
Some women need the proof
in every chocolate, every flower
Are you asking me down your runway?
I'm asking you to be watchtower
Some men just like the journey
don't care if it's incomplete
Some women like a long trip
Some women short 'n' sweet
But if we lift each other up
Let's make it 10,000 feet
The reason I'm still down here
and I've never taken off
Is I never had the courage
To rummage through Love's loft
Cos when we're finally up there
and the engines have been stopped
the landing won't be fatal
if love's parachute has been dropped.

Ah clever wordsmithing here Kevin - - love's journey whether short and sweet or long and dusty your pen has scribed with lusty questions as to its end. A first rate style of rhyming too.
Kevin, using the metaphor of flying to talk about love is ingenious! Great poem, love it!
A wonderful poem, Kevin! I would have never thought of this metaphor as pertaining to love, but, yeah, you do kind've jump in, don't you? Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed reading!
You'll always fly higher without a parachute. The parachute will weigh you down, always preventing that ecstacy of flying near the sun.
Nice words KB.
very true, my friend, and thanks.
