fall

[theragtagpoet]

and time marches on...

sometimes dragging us
sometimes stolling along the beach with our arms tucked in it's enormity
sometimes letting us piggyback on the universe
sometimes forcing us to crawl through barbed wire
sometimes leading us down quiet creekbeds that soothe our souls

and the journey continues...

you told me that it wouldn't be easy
to see you clearly through broken glasses
when the glare cuts into my eyes like swords
made of sunlight

the shine made you angelic
i heard your voice tied up in the
tapestry of your wings
and i was blinded by that beautiful noise

i stumbled into your embrace
and forgot to let you fly
but you are not my poetic tragedy
to bind with ribbons like metaphors
till you bleed similies on my inability
to fall.

you are the goddess and i am your fool
distracted by the reflections of light
i am led by fractals
and let my pen tangle ink black webs
into the corners of your eyes

dark calligraphy pours from your lips
and kisses my shadow
assures me that my foolish ways are simply
a path that leads to that destined fall

the stars paint constellation promises
pinpricks of light piercing through
the jagged glass of my perception
echoing a song that i knew at our beginning

you make me remember
i lose focus and feel you
let my ribbons fall to your feet
and tremble with naked anticipation

i look to the star's song
and hear the rush of your wings
i let go of gravity
and fall into your sky
