How We Fall

Starts with one taking note

Of the other’s reproduction

Of the other’s seduction

Starts with one taking notice

Of the other’s stride

Of the other’s narcissistic pride

Starts with one taking notation

Of the other’s plump lips

Of the other’s curved hips

Starts with a symphony

An exchange of climactic harmony

Starts with a sail set free in the wind

A tryst where two have truly sinned

Continues with a gaze at beautiful eyes

A trace of fingers on soft thighs

Continues with midnight calls

Until finally heaven’s rain falls

It’s how we fall

Like a river running wild

Like a mother bearing child

It’s how we fall

Like an exploding volcanic eruption

Like a heart free of corruption

It’s how we fall

When your soul becomes my soul

And my soul becomes your soul

We have fallen
