Kai Michael Neumann Poet Free verse

Free Fall

Free Fall

How dare I have the confidence to doubt your misery and such despair

	Everything will be fine but where is the everything that matters

The foundation of this world has fallen when rock bottom seemed enough

Void inscribes the Self the World and Future and words amount to Nothing

You’re not in charge of this one step too far with life at odds with freedom

Jump not please as the water beneath suspension is cold weary and forever

All I can do is hold your hand offer my embrace and share what’s left

But if the numb resolve is willing to refuse to let go this very moment

I trust that maybe not for sure but possibly something is left for you to cherish

Lyric Man July 22, 2018 at 9:35 PM Great emotive work, Kai! Kai Michael Neumann July 23, 2018 at 3:07 AM Thank you Lyric Man. I always appreciate your compliments. If life was always as 'easy' as writing poetry, it would certainly be less adventurous. Many wishes to you, Kai

Susan Ashley July 22, 2018 at 8:07 PM Kai, every line in your amazing and moving poem is deep with thought, emotion and imagery. Your first two lines are especially profound, actually the first four lines are.. ah hell, your whole piece is a completely compelling, dark beauty - that causes me to linger and savor your lines.. Warmest wishes always my friend.. ~Susan Kai Michael Neumann July 23, 2018 at 3:10 AM Thank you so much Susan. Those lines somehow just pop out and I feel more whole for the whole day, once I let them flow on the screen. Many wishes to you, Kai

Mario Vitale July 22, 2018 at 12:34 PM Engaging piece really makes you think. Was surprised with the second stanz very nicely done. A word of advice keep reading books on famous poets in the genre. Very good adaptation from reading. Most partial to the last line in reading it was never forced very good overall in reading Kai Michael Neumann July 23, 2018 at 3:16 AM Thank you for reading and reading it carefully. I appreciate that. What poets do you suggest. If you want you could send me a soup mail on that. Thanks again, Kai
