Steep Climb (a poem)

I'm in love,hopeless and deep,
I know the ride's rough and the climb's too steep,
there are chances I might fall,
but it's not like a choice,it's not my call.

Love is not easy or frivolous,
the intensity is conveyed when we caress,
love is agonizing,love is hurting,
and there's danger of a heartbreak always lurking.

Love takes a toll and yet I yearn,
I'll trust love even if I crash and burn,
I'm prepared to take the chances,
only if you approve of my advances.

I promise I'll take it softly and real slow,
I'll tone down to your mellow,
You don't have to love me back the same,
I know you don't yet feel the pain.

The pain is what makes it sweet,
of this longing my life is replete,
say,will you walk with me on these wretched paths,
be my hero and play your part?

Are you capable of love,hopeless and deep,
the ride's rough and the climb's too steep,
there are chances you might fall,
I have no say,it's your call.
