My Fortitude by Tayo Okanlawon - HTML preview

THE LOVE FALL

I did not ask for it yet I bask in it

I have no task in it yet it stacks in me

Seriously, I did not ask for it

Behind its mask I still seek what it means

Weightless, I stagger emotionally under the embrace of love. 

I seem to be sailing in the emptiness of its cuddle.

In a whirlpool of images of the familiar and unfamiliar insinuations,

I seem to be lifted lightly off the ground into a realm of wild illusions.

I fear for my soul, I am scared of falling.

I have to save my soul, I am sure of this calling.

The risk is not in the lifting off the ground

Nor is it in the new heights I have found

To be safe, one of three things I crave;

To be let loose from this embrace before I fall from its’ staggering

Two, hold me firmly in this embrace that we may fall together from its staggering

Lastly I crave, prepare the ground that I may fall upon a love ground.
