falling

an instant of differing perception

to cast a shadow on a flowery gaze –

a heart yearning for completion –

a mind tricking, the joker plays –

i found a moment of exaction,

tainted by a moment of cause –

i fed the animal of attraction

and draped my wounds in a cotton gauze.

i twisted in the covers of redemption

and rolled in the sheets of praise –

i kissed the cheek of my beloved

and fell in an entirely new way.
