Love’s Sweet Fears

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



In every heart there comes a day,
When love appears, in its own way,
A simple glance, a gentle touch,
And suddenly, you feel so much.

Your heart beats fast, your mind is hazy,
You're lost in thought, a little crazy,
The world around you disappears,
As you succumb to love's sweet fears.

You start to see things differently,
Colors brighter, feelings vividly,
Your heart is light, your soul takes flight,
And everything just feels so right.

You smile more often, you laugh out loud,
You find yourself floating on a cloud,
Your heart is open, free and wild,
As you bask in love, like a happy child.

The smallest things bring you great joy,
And every moment seems to employ,
A sense of wonder, a new delight,
As you fall in love with all your might.

You see your love in every face,
In every corner, every space,
And life takes on a new dimension,
Filled with passion, love and affection.

The world may spin, the seasons change,
But love endures, it will remain,
A memory cherished, a moment treasured,
A love that grows, forever measured.

May it fill your heart with joy and cheer,
May you always find the love you seek,
And bask in its glow, warm and sweet.
