TRAVELING UNAWARE


love, it bears penalties
blinded yet it still proceeds
bound to cause casualties
fulfilling what it needs


resistance matters not
not knowing when to stop
anxious, it has forgot
the path it once had sought


no limits can restrict
even if pain inflicts
strength consumes to submit
and eases troubles we forget


these emotions seem to rare
that we travel unaware
even if we can't repair
we walk into it, unscarred


repercussions may await
willing to risk what's at stake
for these are choices hearts make
even if they one day break

  2. Love the poem - Bertrand Russell said - "fear love and you fear life, fear life and you are three parts dead" - your last stanza made me think of that quote :) Steve
