Barbara’s Poetry From The Heart Corner
Long arms reach from beckoning pines
covet to meet and to intertwine.
Shadows threaten souls sleeping below
not aware of dangers that come and go.
Couples burrowed in each other’s arms
unaware of the world and all the harm.
Lovers feel safe on a lover’s lane
don’t think intruders will insult and defame.
Limbs can shelter they cannot ward off fear
darkness of night leaves lenses unclear.
Passions absorb a heart and dampen a mind
nothing matters during this beloved time.
Don’t be drawn in by hungers of desire
invaders attack to initiate wild fires.
A bonfire turns wood into ash…
it can happen to the innocent in a flash.
Beware of aches trapping the brain
leaving a victim to point a finger of blame.
Long arms reach from beckoning pines
covet to meet and to intertwine.
Shadows threaten souls sleeping below
wrapped in leaves and pine-needles head to toe.
Ingenuous to a world of countless crimes
open to dangers lurking in the nighttime’s.
