Shadows of Desires Poems

Warning About Love

Love is a spark,

bright and wild,

it dances like fireflies in a summer night,

filling your heart with hope,

yet beware—

that spark can burn.

There’s laughter whispered softly under shared blankets,

fingers intertwined like vines,

every glance a silent promise,

the world fades, just you two,

but passion, oh, passion has a weight.

It’s easy to lose yourself,

to think you’re both invincible,

but hearts are fragile,

made of glass and sugar,

falling into the pit of desire,

each kiss jelly sweet,

but love without trust

can crack wide open.

Underneath bedroom sheets,

intimacy wraps around you,

as bodies mix and hearts race like running rivers,

but love without respect is a heavy burden,

carrying both joy and hurt,

confusing lines often crossed.

Take care with your heart,

it’s not a puzzle for anyone to solve,

there’s no owner’s manual,

no careful guide,

and that sweet taste

can turn sour with a whisper.

A moment can shift—

from laughter to tears,

from "I love you" to goodbye

before you even blink,

and the echoes of “what if” linger like ghosts.

Know what you want,

ask the hard questions,

talk as if your heart is in your hands,

because true love isn’t just fireworks,

it builds a home,

and home takes work.

So tread gently in this adventure,

love can elevate,

but it can also plunge.

Trust your gut, embrace the ride,

but keep your eyes wide open,

because love is beautiful, yes—

but it’s not without its warning signs,

and when those signals flash,

pause and listen.

Entangle yourself in love,

but don’t forget—

to love yourself first,

for it’s in that light

you can truly shine together.
