Love Poem: Depth Charge

Depth Charge

Away, away, yet bound for love
            And what, this hindrance hounding still  
For feelings left but unexpressed
                       I hold back, yet against my will

And though I voyage in my search
                 I touch but what the surface knows
Afraid to plunge into the deep
                       Exploding as this feeling grows

But forge ahead and not hold back
                            I must if love is to be found
To reach my destination and
                         to not again run ship aground




Remembering as a youth,
           the fear of unrequited love
