"Falling"

MaddieJ

 

“Falling”

Like a sheet flowing in the wind on a hanger,

As though being tossed about, weightless through the air,

My heart like a swift in the breeze, taking a course without a compass

Time has no stake, it seems to fly by with me

I stand in each moment with you, soaking in the full measure

Of the pleasure of your company

 

I look at this love as though I never knew love before

As if it were a foreign concept, newly discovered, and without limits

So that, each sign of affection is all the more, a dainty treat to the soul

So that no thing from you can be judged in bias or prior encounter

 

Each of our words are carefully altered, knowingly sent out like a telegram to our hearts.

Rather than fleeting, our words carry on in the wee small hours of the morning

Their flavor lasts, and lingers on the tongue

Projecting in our dreams as we fall
