Notes About The Poem

Suspension Tableau

I’ll meet you halfway 
      set fire to both ends 
        Kiss you in stasis 
      as our world upends
       God it feels so good 
    when balance transcends 

No 5

Beautifully balanced between a broad range of emotions seeking the mid-point with a sense of risk elevated over a deep canyon - like walking a tightrope without a net - enticing and dangerous! Congratulations on your win, David! Blessings and cheers!

Heya Sam, yes this one was always about trying to find a metaphoric balance between danger and desire, and I believe fear can be negated in any situation if passion is strong enough, thank you so much for stopping by, cheers David

That’s kinda the way it happens Kim, when that little magic bubble we’re in stands still, the whole world could fall to pieces and go unnoticed, thanks so much for stopping by and the Fave, cheers David

Kiss her deadly, David. I've had my share of backbone trails, but this is just a fantasy. Bol

"I'll do anything for love but I won't do that" lol. I faced similar trials still hold traces of the trauma! Love Unlimited a noble sentiment ha. Kiss Me Deadly by Lita Ford. Even Tiny Bubbles getist burstest.

Try burst my bubble Anaya, but you can’t It’s in stasis lol! The footbridge brought out the dangerous/protective romantic in me, thank you so much, cheers David

Dangers just requires a greater commitment. I liked the way you think, David. Bill

August 18, 2023 at 1:09 AM

Ain’t that the truth Bill, danger also can reignite sparks, bringing back a badly needed balance, thank you Bill, cheers David

The things you do for love, I hope you had a parachute David. Tom

A lot of syllables Lin but it could be worked into a Monoku would need some figuring out?

August 17, 2023 at 5:29 PM

“Oxymoronically” gotta do something with that word.

August 17, 2023 at 1:30 PM

No way! a parachute would oxymoronically kill this one Tom lol, cheers David

A lover’s pact of the ultimate sort. Reminds me of the song lyrics, “Meet me in the Middle.” Golden girl, Sophia Would say, “Picture this…” Holding each other tight while twin flames burn the bridge ropes and the couple plunges to their deaths?

Our muses sometimes tap into the same source, and there is a source somewhere!

August 17, 2023 at 12:53 PM

As long as they are together, nothing else matters. I found it amusing that we chose the same photo.

August 17, 2023 at 12:43 PM

I pictured it Lin, but they will never reach the bottom, in their eyes the moment is frozen in time, I can think of zillion worse ways to go, cheers David
