Falling Down

I am bored with love
and it's passionless limbs
that drape over my bed
in a lethargic state of impotence
while wearing the same red heart
my soul picked up hitchhiking
off highway serendipity

Now here we are
alone in togetherness
trying to build dreams
with two by fours and glue,
but even a home
won't tie us together
when our hearts live alone

Alexz, Thanks for the comment on my poem. To me, "Falling Down," was one of your Best!!! Keep up the work on the hearts that matter, even some of those they Can be healed (although sometimes it doesn't feel like it.) I'm hoping that next I'll be reading; "Getting Up." Rock with Poetry Jack K.

"Hello Dear Young Lady!"~I had to go back to the top after reading this, to make sure that it was truly you? Why? Because it was written so beautifully; although, covering a meloncholied moment-yet, holding a lot of depth and sincere truth! That you could only escape these chains of perception dear Alexz!? I believe, that through the gift of pain and knowing, that You would become a blessing filled and wonderful writer someday!~On we go, "Love, John!":)
