"Falling"

Falling in love



"Falling"

Keith walks with mirth in his eyes
Like a child that just got a new toy
His feet were quite unstable
Wobbling like he gonna fall.

Has he not fallen already?
Why bother rising?

He stood against love all his youth.
Its presence at home was a sham
"It was only a shadow."
He concluded:
"Since it wasn't at home, 
It couldn't be found elsewhere."

But he met defeat today
Staring into the warm glow of her eyes
He fell like a faint feather
He could grudge or muster a whimper
His heart was finally freed for his prison.

He finds himself in a new world
He isn't so sure how to walk
But he is happy he got something to lean on
If he falls 
Someone that won't let him fall
Like a mother to her toddler learning to walk.

"Ambivalence"

 "Ambivalence" I bear a flicker of light Sometimes smouldering  You can't see it It is hidden somewhere in my soul Blown here ...
