If You Could Fall

Candlelight. Steel blue-gray clouds over swollen life.
Sweet balance and snowflakes on the steps, waiting,
Like me.

Beautiful,
If only you were able to move, to go, to fly, to fall.

I know how deep your smile
How hard your love
How far your longing
How wild your passion
If you were able to fall.

To see you there then
Would tickle me crazy
To see you there in the embrace of that fall.
But I already know that fear
You have that smile.

Your eyes burn under their brim
That love
That joy
That fall.

Therefore I hum, I sigh, I giggle
I kiss, I smile, I know
I vow, I go
Having had that joy
Having had that very joy I desire for you,
And you fall.
