Click hereI stand balanced
On a precipice.
It is high.
So very high
Too high, perhaps.
I look over the edge.
I watch the waves
Crashing against the rocks.
The foams looks like
A comforting bubble bath.
I feel the wind
Against my face.
I smell the ocean breeze.
I hear them pounding
Like a drum.
They beg me...
Jump.
Take a chance.
Fly.
Glide upon the wind like a gull.
But...
I'm scared.
I'm too high.
The water is too deep.
The fall to quick.
But...
It looks so beautiful.
I want to feel the air against my skin
Like tiny knives caressing, cutting and marking.
I want...
I turn to you...
I hold out my hand.
Take it.
Hold it tight.
And jump with me.
Like life,
The fall is not
So high, so fast, so far
When you are not alone.
Jump with me.
Soar with me.
Feel the air caress us
The way you caress me.
Hold me tight
Like you do after...
Jump into this
Foaming sea
With me.
Taste the salt.
Feel the cool.
Hold me tight.
Don't let the waves
Pull us apart.
Hold me tighter still.
Taste this ocean on my lips.
Swim with me
In this thing...
This thing...
This THING...
Called Love?
And Agree with Ash and 12-0-1, Very nice job. I also agree with 12-0-1 -try to minimize. makes it more potent. Easy to say but I suffer the same issue, once you get the words out there it's hard to edit. Worth it, though

I want to feel the air against my skin
Like tiny knives caressing, cutting and marking.
