On The Way Down
I knew you were the edge
A limit to safely measure
Yet there on precipiced ledge
I tip-toed for your pleasure
To see the world from high above
Gazing deep into the abyss
To feel the passion of your love
Taste the sweetness of your lips
Bravely did I venture there
A long beautiful moment spent
Balancing in the rarified air
Till over the edge I went
And though my life now forfeit
That moment was spent so well
You, my lofty star-lit gift
I still loved you as I fell
commonsensiblyspeaking 
Brilliant! A very strong piece, yet so light and filled with intense images…great work my friend!
Thank you, Francisco! I appreciate you, brother!
My pleasure my brother!
yikes! worth it or not?
In the end, isn’t it always worth the fall?
i would say yes
I was getting nervous as I read this, and then my worst fears were confirmed.
This is why I try to avoid standing near the edge of things 🙂
Oh, but the view from there…. Thanks for all your support, Q!
I’m happy with the view one meter back… 🙂
This is such a brilliant poetry, it’s like how a silken warm is attracted to fire, probably the warmth is the love it seeks. Sometimes deep love is like walk tip toed with blindfold into curvatures of life from where you may never come back. But the experience itself is worth living. Very nicely written Brad 😊 👌
Thank you, Vinayak! All the best things in life have a modicum of risk involved. I love how you described it in your comment. Thanks for all the support my friend!
Anytime Brad 😊
Brad this is a beautiful tribute to both nature, the sky and love. Your choice of words so nicely picked. Gorgeous work. Love this. Sending hugs and a gallon bucket filled with Star ⭐️ 💫 gazes. No need to jump just open up and they will fill your house with beauty. Love ❤️ Joni
Thank you, Jonikins! You are always so very kind with your praise! I am sending back wishes wrapped in kisses!
Oh thank you Brad they are already here. I just say what I truly feel about your work. It is beautiful. Love ❤️🤗🌸🌺Jonikins
So brilliant!! You make it difficult to choose a favorite!
Thank you, Kristian!
Love is a balancing act of risk. Great job, Brad!
Thank you, Pete!
Is it selfish to say I miss when these would be about me?
🤷🏻♀️ oh well! *skips off*
It is not selfish, but I am surprised. I am not sure that is how you felt not so long ago. Stick around, you never know what may be coming next!
Meh, the crime doesn’t fit the punishment of forever not talking to ya Bradibaby. That was ages ago!
It seems a lifetime and I will admit I missed you and your harlequin ways! ❤
A harlequin is nothing without a master
You haven’t changed a bit you playful minx!
Glad I don’t disappoint
