I don't want to fall into love.
I want love to fall into me!
To fall as if it had been waiting
since the beginning of time itself
just to find the one safe place
it was truly meant to be.
To fall as though there were
no stronger arm or softer touch
in which to find itself resting.
To fall like the lost wanderer,
the snow, the rain.
To fall like the tears
of a new mother,
To fall like a star.
To fall completely, eyes closed and
arms out, head back, in
defiant confidence that nothing
could come between this
beautiful, ecstatic, wonderful,
infinite, moment of anticipation
and its own fulfillment.
To fall like the season itself,
with all of nature's glory
encompassed within.
To fall like a child
learning his first steps.
To fall like a whisper:
a whisper that says,
"I love you."
@jonthecomposer Is this your poem? It's so........... BEAUTIFUL! Yes, to fall in love ....."to fall completely, eyes closed and arms out, head back, in defiant confidence that nothing could come between this beautiful, ecstatic, wonderful, infinite moment of anticipation and its own fulfilment." Wow, so intense, I did fall in Love liked this many moons ago, when I was younger, but this feeling wasn't reciprocated, and Love didn't worked out, I was left hurt, and alone......... I thought I would never find this kind of Love again, when I had almost given up, and wasn't looking, I found the Love Of My Life! My husband, this Love is different same feelings, but matured, not naive, and child liked as the one before, more experienced, knowing what I wanted, of Love, and how to Achieved it....... just that in my trials, and tribulations , I gained strength. I wished the same for you, the Love you so desperately wanted, and looked for.......Be strong, the best is yet, to followed.... SG friends are here, to support, and be supported. Be hopeful. @jonthecomposer eye - opening post, thank you.
@Irma Thank you for your kind words and compliments on the poem. Yes, I wrote it. I just have no faith this will ever happen. And I don’t mean that specifically, hell, I hardly FEEL anything any more. Trust me, I was married once. So I am not unfamiliar with falling in love when I am “older and wiser.” But whatever was SUPPOSED to be during my youth (speaking of love or affection), never happened. So I missed all of that… And as a side-note for me: It’s ALWAYS happened while I WAS looking and NEVER in the other sense. It’s not logical and until proven to me, I just won’t believe I’ll find anything when I’m “not looking.” I’ve been told that hundreds of times with ZERO truth in it.
