Like trapeze artists <br />we fall towards each other <br /> <br />our love <br />so far above <br /> <br />the disbelieving faces <br /> <br />a sea of masks <br /> <br />All saying: “Oh! ” <br />with awe. <br /> <br />Your fingertips <br />reaching out <br />at the last possible second <br />grasp my wrists <br /> <br />and we fly through the air <br />with the... (like a fish <br />in water) ... greatest of ease. <br /> <br />So real...surreal. <br /> <br />Alone <br />in the big top of our longing <br /> <br />high above all others <br /> <br />unaware of all the gasps <br />(the melodramatic drum roll) <br /> <br />only our love <br />reaching for the next second <br /> <br />knowing that the other is always <br />there <br /> <br />only a heartbeat <br /> <br />...away.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-now-for-your-delictation-and-delight/
