Falling

Response to falling
Falling deep into my passage
Without abeyance
"Just fall." you said
"Just fall for me."
So I'm falling
For I am cocksure
Knowing you will be there
Like warm sunlight upon an angel face
Feather to palm
Falling tongue slide into your open mouth
Searching to taste the peppermint locked in your jaw
Our kiss comfortable unlike brand new shoes
Which require adjustments
Fall just without words
Just fall

very sensual. how we all want to trust our basic instincts! how one person can make you forget all your doubts and just feel! very true to life. 'specially about the shoes

Pretty good...

We read this poem tonight in tink's chat, and i must say it's quite a nice read! I like your repitition of "falling", it's like a cascading sensation when reading it. You have a few images going on, with the sunlightm the brand new shoes and such, makes for a very interesting read! Peace n Love Katie

falling, tinks' chat review

sounds like he got her number! love the way you talk. you don't have to be silent but it makes it better. that way i can concentrate on me. almost thought last two lines were skewed but then realized why you did it that way. could have put it this way,fall....just without words.
