14. Love is dangerous

Love is dangerous, don’t you know
I am dangerous, dangerous to know
This is a high risk high return strategy
There is no other way but to live precariously
We are dangerous, soon they will know
Love is dangerous, dangerous to know

I’m not talking about quiet routine
A peck on the cheek in a family scene
I mean rage and excitement
Passion, incitement
To be taking chances
Not lost in suburban trances

I don’t want to be heard and not seen
Looking back on a love that has seldom been
I want my love to be sensual
Hard won, essential
I don’t want excuses
He who dares hardly ever loses

I have suffered
But it’s not enough
To have loved and lost
Living is learning
Here I am yearning
Again to bear the cost
