Poem -
Tread Softly
Tread softly with my heart tonight
a gentle step with caution take.
Walk gently through my troubled dreams
lest careless word my heart would break.
Forgive with boundless openness
the crushing failure of despair.
An empty soul with naught contained
finds only sorrow hiding there.
Awake within a lovelorn heart
a warmth to kindle seasoned wood.
From smouldering embers reach within
and see a love no one else could
Tread softly now, my precious one,
For in your hands you hold my heart,
I gift it you, and hold my faith,
to hope,âgainst hope, we never part.

Aw thank you StevieC!!! xxx
Absolutely stunning poetry, Lodigiana. Exemplary rhyming coupled with a smooth even meter when read aloud made this melancholy musing a pure delight to read.

Yeah, I vaguely recall what it felt like to be this much in love.
I don't have much use for Eros, otherwise known as sexual or passionate love.
It is the type most akin to our modern construct of romantic love.
Were you aware that in Greek mythos, it is a form of madness brought about by one of Cupidâs arrows? The arrow breaches us and we âfallâ in love, as did Paris with Helen, leading to the Trojan War and the downfall of Troy and much of the assembled Greek army. In modern times, eros has been amalgamated with the broader life force, something akin to Schopenhauerâs will, a fundamentally blind process of striving for survival and reproduction. Eros has also been contrasted with Logos, or Reason, and Cupid painted as a blindfolded child. Hence the saying, "Love is blind."
