The Shores of Alone

0 posted 2000-06-29 12:05 PM




Falling helplessly
into love, lust, limerance,
(whatever it is).

My feet are less stable,
almost disconnected
from the earth.

I am a parachutist
with a loose cord,
a dancer
with a fractured leg,
a car
with faulty brakes.

Out of control,
in danger,
yet oddly happy.

Spiraling
toward the inevitable.
I am falling
faster now.
Will you catch me?

You express that feeling so well! Wonderful piece of work! I posted a poem with the same title in crit a while ago, but the content was completely different!
