I Have Fallen

I clasp your hand the moment I realise I will fall alone You grit your teeth in anger holding me as I dangle there Your jawline is rock hard, the veins on your head popping out, You are breathing in and out in desperate fear of losing me But your lightening, determined eyes shoot through me and say, "Damn it all! I love you I will never let you go" The mountain's edge falls around me and below us But I will not look down Gravity is pissed With all of my strength I hurl my shoulder upwards so that my other hand clasps your arm You pull me up to safety and draw me into your fiery embrace Nothing will take us but each other... I know this and sob in your arms I have never fallen so in love with you In that moment when death was so close From here, we will rise Kiss me relentlessly through all destruction, You have taught me that Every mountain will fall before us

Can emotion be any stronger than this? I think not. This love could not have been described in any more powerful terms than these. None exist in our universe. We should all feel this passion and can when we appreciate the people around us for what they are. You inspire me to do just that. There is beauty and love all around us if we just take a moment to appreciate and savor it.

The test of true love lies in the moments of danger and painful trials, Laura. Having overcome those will see the blossoming of love in all its strength and passion. ~ Happy New Year and regards ~ paul

Mmmmmm...Laura, the danger of your pain is no match for the power of your love with him, to feel truly inseparable from one another, magic lives between such hearts!!! I love how you assert their belief in eachother, and how only they can determine their outcome, fricken sweet! The merger of imagery, devotion, and truth is breathtaking, a revelation of faith! "Kiss me relentlessly through all destruction..." invincible love!!! The final verse is Divine! J.A.B. A FAV!!!
