John Patrick Robbins Aka Gonzo Poet Rhyme

The Breaking of the Fall

Love can be a beautiful Illusion.
A mirror that reflects  stilll needs a wall.
I find solice in the silence goes togather.
With the breaking  of the fall.

In the winds howl on stormy nights.
The ocean  in  summer.
young lovers and last rights.

We grasp onto velvet skies.
Become blind for only moment.
To worn out truths and the same old lies.

A sail needs air for in the stillness it does stall.
Even the worst ego's are willing victems.
Love's sudden departure  is the 
breaking of the fall.

For as its does vanish it leaves a void
to large the shadow does loom.
Candles lit seem only to haunt a now 
empty room.

A men we run after that which can leave  
barely  able to crawl.
Are we but children skipping  stones.
Blinded  by  passion till the breaking  of the fall.

Carolyn Devonshire August 24, 2009 at 3:31 AM How true that Love's sudden departure is sthe breaking of the fall." Indeed, we need air (motivation) to move us forward. The type of lonelisness you describe has a grat ring of truth, John. You have given the reader a very interesting perspective of lost love and loneliness. Beautiful write! Love, Caroklyn
