Freefall

They say that true love
only comes around
once in a lifetime

but, how many lifetimes
do we live until we find
that moment where the earth
and the heavens meet under
intoxicated stares and the warm
embrace of heart pieces snapping
into place to form a complex puzzle
illustrating the perfectly told story

When the moment finds
us do we remember past lives
and lovers placing fingers
to parched lips  and then
pointing into the light

to guide us into the familiar
and the terrifying wrapped up

in a tightly knit package with a
beating heart that drums along
as we freefall into the emotions
and the memories that defy logic
