coaxing a kiwi to flight

take my hand
let my fingers enfold yours
soar with me to heights unknown
let youself love me
trust me, ill protect you
i will shield your heart
from the flaming arrows of accusation
i will hear the whispers and
meet with my eyes the dagger glances of those woeful naysayers
those that fault our love
just a tiny hop is all that it takes
only to let your feet leave the ground
and i will clasp you in my arms
and carry you away,
away from the smoking fires of criticism
but you will not jump
you are too grounded
too responsible
too ordered for the chaos of my love
you cannot let yourself fly with me
in the frenzied dance of love
