Don't Fall In~ By Anne Nederlof

6/4/2014

It’s a deep, narrow well.
My heart sinks to the bottom
When your eyes peer,
Laced with sky,
Across the surface.
A glory to see them
From afar,
But near and I reflect them.
Dangerous
To let the subdued heart
Beat its way,
Hovering distorted just below
The place where your eyes
Might meet mine,
My lip will quiver,
Sending ripples over me,
And that’s when you’ll catch sight
Of my ill-concealed heart.
Too late to dart away,
My eyes wide say,
“Come” and “Welcome."
You’re leaning on the edge,
Inquisitive,
Admiring me-
Don’t fall in.
