Face to Face

Word filled and soft to the embrace.
I am not alone in this feeling,
or fleeting in my chase.
Something brews as big –
as the shadows on my wall.
I feel it wrap around me,
padding my fall.

I beat in dark blue circles
and feather with each step.
I tumble down your truth
and swell with each breath.

A journey to a place of touch,
of sound,
of rain drenched hands.
Gripping pavement to remember
where it is we stand.

I swallow with a deepened hue,
that brings me back to a perfect –
memory of you.

No bondage of a fallen past
or carved trees with a facade to last.

A real moment buried within our time,
filling our skin and breaking lines.
We slide through this forgotten place.
Where it is we love,
face to face.

    “tumble down your truth” is such a neat phrase that I almost want an entire poem written about it. Good work!

    Your wordplay and rhymes here have worked so well with each other… there is almost a lyrical feel to this poem… lovely!

    I know the closure is the crux, but here is my favourite part –
    I feel it wrap around me,
    padding my fall.
    Lovely piece, Jess
