Falling Slowly...


A first encounter, nerves nagging down my spine

The unanswered questions slowing my steps

The clouds parting to reveal glittery eyes winking

I walk quickly from the punchline

I've been here before... the something new

The strings are plucked, the melody familiar

Imagination curls my toes, fingers twirl my hair

My pace quickens through the dark streets

The spotlight follows close behind me

A smile escapes the corner of my mouth

As I remember a sweet anecdote of poetry

I remember the rush like a wave gliding sandy shores

Patience leaves me alone to feel the build

My cheeks are flushed with angst

Let me be swept, leave me open

Vertigo sets in, my balance is thrown

And I fall... slowly... sweetly... shamelessly...


I fall...
