Flying in falling
     Softly snow, five blue pigeons
And a white pigeon.

Ever have that dream where you're falling and then you kick out as you suddenly wake up?

The snow covered in pink-red leafs
Under a tree where a boy sits down
On his shoulders appear not one but two
Angels, one red and one white

‘WHO is it? WHO is it that we have here?’
The snow mirrors the sun in his eyes
And the leafs start to weave through
The face of the boy, dark and lights

Inside his head, the voices spread
Towards the angels of life and death
Red! Red! Red! calls the devil
White! White! White! yearns

The opponent of life’s angel
valling for grief and sorrow,
Not the one, not that one
At least not, for the one
the sweet scent of flowers
grazes the finely thinned hairs of a lover
while a butterfly flits in their stomach ready
to tie that uncomfortable knot…

                               she has fallen in love.

Greek heroes fall
Down and down again.
Years of glory,
Birthdays, family
Gone in a
single push
in a single
sun-burnt wing.

Will you fall tomorrow
As well?
Fear of death
Zack Ripley Dec 2024
Falling is scary. You give up safety. Security. Except sometimes, you don't.
Like when you fall back
to a simpler time.
Or falling in love. Falling on your bed.
Or falling in line.
I guess what I'm saying is...
sometimes, it's okay to fall.

It’s not that I fell for you and slowly got to know you
I didn’t go deeper

I am in deep
I know all of you
And now I love you
A short one, I wrote after a conversation with my husband about what love really is, how knowing someones flaws makes you start really loving someone!

Once upon a time,
In a Nordic country,
As winter approached,
I fell in love with a snowman,
Not caring about his freezing heart.
But I knew we wouldn’t last until the end of the season.

Do you have feelings, snowman?
Your tears are snowflakes,
Your heart of crystal,
Your feelings as unstable as snow.
Don’t come any closer, for my intensity will make you melt.

I don’t want to cause a fusion of ice and fire,
Between opposite extremes:
Passion versus coldness,
Love versus indifference,
Emotion versus reason.

Ah, my snowman,
I’m like the sun that burns and raises the temperature,
Removing winter and bringing spring.
We’re from different cycles,
Voracious and vibrant.
The warmth of my soul has melted you.
Heat and cold are finite,
Reflecting, lost in my loneliness during this frosty period.

Fire and ice can meet,
But their warmth and cold dissipate with time,
Complementary forces,
But not belonging to the same space or season.

After the storm I always fall back down to you

Skeleton leaves losing height

Weightless birds lost in flight

Resurrected feelings drifting back down to you

I don't know what it is,
or why I feel this way.
I yearned for love for so long,
yet nothing worked out.
But maybe, just maybe,
we can make it work together.
Not just from our love for each other,
but from our pain too.
