Falling Poems - Poems about Falling

Sadness fell. And also puzzle pieces. And also things and trinkets. And also rocks that seem to think. If something fell from outer space… It would fall straight into my orbit. A space rock. Would thank me for catching it, then die suddenly. I don’t think anyone or anything could circle me. They dipped away. New...

A muted echo in the bone, A world I cannot call my own. The breath I take a heavy toll, A restless sprit, losing soul. Not darkness craved Nor fading light. Just weary limbs, That cannot fight. The endless climb, The endless fall. I yearn for nothing, Least of all. This constant thrum,...

I watched a leaf release its breath, A golden sigh upon the air. It tumbled softly into death, A quiet dance without despair. The wind, a gentle funeral song, Caressed it with a lover’s grace. It drifted, weightless, swept along, No bitterness upon its face. I thought of all I’ve had to leave, The hands, the homes, the hollow years. I thought of how we...

Is Simbach Austrian? Is Braunau German? Buda’s bumpy, Pest is flatter. The Danube does it best. Is history a palimpsest? (Think Durer, think Blatter). And spare me the sermon. I forget the rest. Does any of it really matter? ...

you trace my constellations you put stars in my eyes you whisper sweet nothings which ended up being my demise the sweet taste of honey you leave on my tongue numbs the pain of the nicotine in my burning lungs you say the lace of my garments traces my bones but all i see is a girl way out of tone...

Under the dome of nights shining like a sea of falling stars, The fruits of summer pour out their fragrant burden in a waltz of dreams, The aroma of encounters with you, my love, like an elixir of hidden gods, Intoxicates my senses and carries me on wings of time and longing. Your body, a sanctuary of summer, sculpted...

You’d think it’d be pretty, To see a falling sun, Yet here in the city, It seems much less fun. There’s nowhere to hide, From the heat and the fire, No oceans to find, Only jobs looking to hire. Yet the pay is atrocious, And everyone is depressed, The manager has halitosis, And there’s civil...

Eye's closed fast asleep in a nightmare I am breathing deep Decending spinning never hitting the ground I am trying to Scream but I'm making no sound. Voices that taunt me they come from my past I can't see their faces as I am Falling to fast I reach out for something to help stop my fall I grab...

It seems my life is spiraling Spinning so far out of control I feel as though I'm falling Deeper and deeper into a hole All around me is this darkness The drowns out all the hope So why am I looking for a way That I may be able to cope I'm lost and alone...

Heavy rain in the middle of July The hot air has passed I sit and collect the coolness I slowly she summer end While fastly seeing a new life begin...

Under the sky like an ancient parchment, etched with falling stars, I told her I would be the shadow of the tree under which dreams rest, I said I would be the place where tears turn into butterflies, That I would be the silence that embraces the echo of extinguished pains. But when she came, carrying a universe of...

The edge is close, my steps are slow, I shouldn’t look, but still, I know. I told myself I’d just come see But now the fear is holding me. The ground’s too far, my hands feel weak, My chest is tight, I barely speak. The railing’s there, but what if not? What if it slips? What if I drop? I take one step,...

Just keep walking The words ringing in his ears He marches ever onward Trying to leave the memories behind Around each new bend A new start could await But all he finds is empty promises Nothing to the fill the void She left deep inside Each new path Every possibility tried He tries desperately to forget Not to taint others with her memory Comparisons aren't fair To...
