Before me it stretched
A tightrope
Spanning across the abyss
You, my balancing pole…
Blindfolded, ignorant
I took you in my arms
Cradling you as you held me
Whispering in my ears
When to go
When to stay
One step at a time
We cross the chasm of life
Together

Lovely! ☺
"The chasm of life" - I love this. There is so much love and security bound in this.
That was so creative. Well done.
This is so beautifully poetic and full of trust. The imagery of walking together on a tightrope through life is powerful and touching.
Wonderful poem. <3 Love is indeed a tightrope
