falling without a net

 falling without a net
  

Love is like a high wire-act,

tumbling like an acrobat,

falling without a net.

Your eyes are like velvet pools,

I'd dive in like so many fools,

But I'm afraid of falling without a net.

Your lips are like soft, satin sheets,

I'd lie down where sweet skin meets,

But I'm afraid of falling without a net.

Your skin is like downy feathers,

I'd wear them in winter weather,

But I'm afraid of falling without a net.

You smile is like a summer rainbow,
I'd like to bask in its colorful warm glow,

But I'm afraid of falling without a net.

Your heart is warm and tender,

I'd love to feel its fullest splendor,

But I'm afraid of falling without a net.

Love is like a high wire-act,

tumbling like an acrobat,
falling without a net.
