Falling in Love

Poem Artwork


Fall and Fall



 




First rush of blood:

Your heart knew me.

As I floated

face down in myself,

clutching at the world

with a baited smile.

Your eyes invited me.

Beautifully engaging mine

in a graceful conversation of looks.

A home fire flickered at last in the dark,

as I passed my heart into the glow.

Your tongue received me.

Passionate and probing;

wrapping me in a tartan shawl.

I sighed, but could do nothing at all,

but fall and fall and fall.

Your body entertained me.

It entertained us both;

stroking and bending

us into our favourite secrets.

Two rhythms pulsing toward one life.

Realisation:

You have given me everything.

A heart to cry with,

a soul to love with

a smile to reply with

a reason to live,

a future.

Can I give you my love?

It is all that I have,

but I give it wholly.

Now

and

then

again

and

again.

Bernard,

I love this one: reminds me of the tango! Deeply moving, sensual lines; well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
