John Patrick Robbins Aka Gonzo Poet Rhyme

Every Time We Fall

Every time we fall we lose a bit of  are selfs.
Untill hollow becomes the heart.
bare as a vacant stores shelves.

The dreamer finds solice in every new face.
That new love's illusion.
Cold is the afterglow when we reflect apon that 
once passionet embrace.

Can the bitter heart find a reason to try?
Skipping stones alone across dark water.
We keep setting are selves  up without 
a single question as to why.

A room smoke filled yet every thing shows 
clear.
Sometimes  we play the cards.
And hold the best one aside in fear.

As vast as the ocean  from its shores 
the  the innocent crawl.
Trying to capture only a glimmer of that true passion.
Every time we fall.

Charlene Bird June 27, 2009 at 3:21 PM John, this is beautiful, and it is beautiful to fall in love and being in love, although sometimes it there is a resistence that tells us not too, but, there is much pleasure in being silly, and giddy and feeling that rush, you capture the feel very well. Great Work!

Carolyn Devonshire June 19, 2009 at 8:50 AM Boy, does this ring true! So many times I have asked myself why I set myself up for another blow. It's to the point where I sometimes don't want to even try to see if the passion can be restored. You wrote about these feelings so well, John! This is one for my favorites -- I totally relate. Nice work! Love, carolyn
