1530 HRS JULY 10TH 2007

Fear cripples

Memories persist.

Ghosts from the past

haunt the present,

the heart dreads

to commit.

Am I wiser

from wretched hardships?

The future

promises its fair share

of the past's sorrows.

But I am determined

not to let yesterday's

broken dreams

rule over

today's happiness.

I will not allow

my loved one

to be a victim

of my past.

As she gently kisses

my fears and insecurities

away,

in a way only she

knows how.

Fear not dear heart,

Fear not

to love.
