I got my chorus from your walk
You know just how the angels talk
That is how I fell for you
I saw the step was in you too

I was at the cliff when you leapt
Staring straight and softly wept
Could my tears have brought you back
You walk the earth in threads of black

I see you as I pen a dirge
And to the cliff I have an urge
The salty air of tears and loss
Thresholds seen as ones to cross

You said I wrote far too much
Maybe even lost my touch
You know just how the angels talk
I stole my chorus from your walk

Yanno this was an excellent poem - and I really liked your approach in this one, speaking as an onlooker.  Enjoyed.

Wow! Quite the poem Walt. I love the insight into yourself in this!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Walt~
These thoughts in verse are such as to make the heart sigh !
How wonderfully you have stretched and grown in your writing.

I really am enjoying this one soooooo much.

"ah lahk it ah lahht,"  especially the lines:

I was at the cliff when you leapt
...
And to the cliff I have an urge

I got my chorus from your walk
...
I stole my chorus from your walk

I got my chorus from your walk
You know just how the angels talk

I was at the cliff when you leapt
Staring straight and softly wept
Could my tears have brought you back
You walk the earth in threads of black
