The Fall



The Fall
I fell so fast and so hard for you
It was nothing you said to me or promised to do
My heart and mind overflowed with ideas
Of things we’d do and of the life we’d  live

I picture our future in a beautiful frame
Made up  of romance and of passion it’s  borders dripping red  and hot as a fires flame
Burning perpetually, lighting the four chambers of my heart
Know before your appearance it was bleak and dark

With your permission, I’d like to teach our love about the joy of ecstasy
Me, me, I’m here for you; my love is truly for the world to see
In my heart and mind is where you’ll reside eternally
In my world, I desire nothing more than thee

The fall has taught me to never give up on love
The fall has taught me that there’s a shining light from above
Love for you has taught me to get back up after every fall
The fall has taught me that love can conquer all

From ghetto fabulous to military standards with customs and courtesies. The Path taken in life from the United States of America to far and distant lands has indubitably exposed me bare. The adventure has made the person; the man. Born in Illinois, raised in East St. Louis and Royal Lakes, from there the fam hightailed it to California. Dallied in Inglewood then Bompton or Compton, some do say. Signed my name on the dotted line bringing the world into full view. I joined the United States Air Force in 1986, fully retired in 2016, 30 years of honorable service and of making life do what it does so I can do what I do when I do what I do communicating my thoughts or a few. more…
