I've never
broken a bone
I'm no good
at ice skating
or roller blading
or surfing
or anything
that involves falling to learn

I'm petrified
of falling
Petrified
of crashing
Petrified
of getting hurt
when I discover
There's no one
there to catch me.

But you challenge me
'Let him lead'
And I want to build a tower
Of all of my self-created weaknesses and faults and short comings
And climb and conquer
One at a time
And climb
and climb
and climb.

Until I am standing on the precipice...

And I want to jump
And fall...

into the depths of your eyes
and the beauty of your mind
into the passion of your embrace
and the kindess of your soul
into the warmth of your kiss
and the expanse of your spirit

I want to fall...
I want to fall...
I want to fall...
into love.

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

And I want to jump
And fall...

into the depths of your eyes
and the beauty of your mind
into the passion of your embrace
and the kindess of your soul
into the warmth of your kiss
and the expanse of your spirit

I want to fall...
I want to fall...
I want to fall...
into love.

What a nice fell to fall into love
Very beautiful words . I like these lines the most though i felt the whole piece close to me..
Thanks a lot for sharing such nice thoughts

Like the misdirection of this piece, i.e., hating to fall,  but wanting desperately to fall . . . in love. Nice.

Indeed the wish of many I think - takes a bit of courage though.  Loved your poem. Welcome to Pip!
