My Ascent and Fall in Love

Catapulted

Right off the ground

I knew straight up

There was nothing for it

So I spread my arms

On the ascend and lifted my chin

And while the numbing wind

Blows through my hair, my body,

I will take a moment

To forget.

Ignore the memory of

The smashing that is coming

The splat on the grass

And the certain tumbling.

Forget the fact that

Being screwed over is

My fault here in

The twenty-first century.

Be smarter, be better, find

the weak point and thrive.

There is no excuse for tender

Moments and forgetting

The power of lust.

My eyes wide for the momentary stop,

A surge of adrenalin!

Blue sky and white cloud all

On the horizon

But here it comes that

Mild descent.

I open my chest to the pinnacle.

Now

Close my mind,

pause and dive.
