There is nothing romantic about
falling
down stairs
Tumbling down granite steps, clothed in a light cotton dress and laughter
There is nothing graceful about
falling
in love
Stammering out firecracker words, armed with bullet powder breath and suspicion
I
tripped
into love with you
Rolling down, unsure of what bruises I would walk away with, prescribing each second with a dose of eternity
You have not strolled away yet with your flowing swagger, just as I have not waddled off with my tangled stride
Instead, we are both grasping for a rail to break our fall,
or rather to delay the crash on the base tread
Falling is adrenaline rush wonder
Lets keep falling, together
At the bottom, I will tend to your bruises
So we can take another leap of faith
