Sometimes I Fall Out of the Sky

Sometimes I fall out of the sky
Just as you happen along
To catch me; like a falling star
In sidereal time, only a fraction of a second.

Sometimes I fall into the sea
Right in front of your dock;
You haul me out again, like a fine trout
In earth time, only an instant in your net.

Some days, I barely catch myself
Falling out of nothing; falling in slow motion
Hoping for even one far away glimpse of you;
For time moves like a lover only in your shadow.

Hell of a last line.

Very imaginative way of depicting the feeling of love and attraction. A pleasure to read.

Love is all about free-falling. I love this poem.

Beautiful writing of a beautiful love that we all strive for. Loved it.

There is a subtle elegance in the way you write of love here and it is beautiful.
