fall as arrived

in honor of the first day of fall
lets pay honor(ation??) to those things that make us fall…..

two meet

the intensity of the moment becomes more than the moment itself
the hesitation of the past flinches on the moment
and you clinch to your fears

the fears pass

you stumble in the light
in the dark
trying to find each other with your hearts down
but neither is sure what direction the path will lead
although the road has been traveled before
one has to find room for a travel mate

so instead you stop at the butterflies
the heart palpations
and settle for the day-dreams
when night falls you succumb to the urges
late night calls
so called moments of accidental dials
where even the moments of silence seem planned.

then,
the moment comes where the L word slips your tongue…
i like you
i really like you
so we plan things for a “we”
months in front of the moment “we” are in now

if….
your background check clears, or
even your forward thinking approach wins
and your mom doesn’t call you too many times a day
and we can sit in a room and just stare
at each other
at the wall
maybe even juggle a couple of balls
i could…
even luv you
Until i love you
And find ourselves questioning
if….
we are foolishly in love
or loves fool
or just fools in love
not sure if we are at odds with one another
or out for one another
the games we play begin to diminish into funny feelings

the masks come down

then,
the moment comes where neither matters
whatever this is or it is, “we” are here to stay
staying down because
they become the reason
the season
and still not crazy enough to say a lifetime

two has left
one has entered
dare I say soulmate?


that is to be examined at a later date.
