Reciprocated love
– bellissimo amore
knowing when it’s not
you know what you know
you don’t what you don’t…
but each time
there is a risk
a sting to the heart
another lesson learned
a bee gathers pollen
from a flower
passing it onto
the next flower
…until you get too close

Reality is clear
like truth and trust
but those moments
of passion
smiles
chats
shared secrets
from the past
those intimate
moments
vulnerabilities
exposed

Jumping into the flame
when there is no fire escape
…to the hearts own peril
