Two Oh Two. A.M.

Love/Fear No. 100

---

Every poem in Hearts on the Line stems from an anonymous person graciously answering two questions: “What is my greatest love?” and “What is my greatest fear?” The rest is just my poetry…

Life Is a Word,

and Love Is a Sentence.



If I fall and break,

can you make me whole again?

I’m lying half awake

with thunder in my head.

Then, flashes of my future

from pitch-black thought balloons.

If I’m ever split in two,

can I reconnect, with you?



The night is long and dark,

but I am here with you.

I’m boxed in by the walls,

but our love will make it through.

You’ve been there through the worst,

which was always for the better.

Whether we were blessed or cursed,

it was always best together.



My career path goes through fog,

and I’m searching for a light.

All I see are thunderbolts

in this long and scary night.

Am I walking to a cliff?

I am falling through what-ifs,

and where will my landing be,

in this long and scary night?



There’ll be a thump,

and I’ll wake up,

in pieces,

next to you, my love.

You’ll pick me up

and give a hug

and squeeze me

back to what I was.



Thank You

to the Human Spirit…

I would be grateful if you shared your own love and fear on this link…

It’s anonymous and could lead to the next poem!
