Momentless
If the blur of colors never stops how do I tell where the rainbow ends and the rain begins
If you pull hard enough maybe the stuffing will come out, if you tear strong enough maybe I will split open and pour out onto the pavement
Stretching, always stretching
Time is a melted clock, puddles puddles on the floor at your mangled feet, I broke them, I crushed them in my haste to leave
You say forever is false and that the ending will one day come
But how can I trust you to be present-ever when you plan for death
When you tell me the apocalypse is near and you are leaving without me, no, that I will leave you to love another, leave you and never return
How do I trust the middle when you denied the beginning
How do I trust the middle when you swim to the cliff, see the depth of the water, and tell me we'll drown.
Jumping quickly
out
of known security
into
animation, suspended
above
hard reality
in
momentless time.

Gliding smoothly
through
unknown thoughts
past
unlimited dreams
near
unlived fantasy.

Landing finally
midst
broken dreams
of
desired wishes.

Reflecting quickly
upon
what could have been.

Knowing it never was.
This poem compares sky diving to an introspective trip through your mind and emotions.

The trip is short so enjoy it while you are there.

Cheers
