Fear of Heights |
At times |
When my mind wanders with my feet |
My thoughts reach their destination before my body |
Like a recurring dream |
I find myself traveling to lands I thought beyond my reach |
So new and different from my actual hideaway |
And before I return to that same familiar gate |
Words come together magnetically |
Clearing way through the mess of obscurity |
The knot of doubts restraining me |
They form perfect letters to you in my imagination |
And when finally confessed |
Grant my release |
Bodies bare of pretence |
Timid and undressed |
Do you mean to win me with these praises and offenses |
Why ignore me if you profess to adore me |
I didn’t think you could stand the sight of me |
At least you spoke honestly |
My refusal was based on damaged pride |
Not an aversion to your advances |
Obsessed with visions of the world |
Of night in distant places |
What lies outside of constancy |
Outside of these fences |
Passing the blurry lights |
It’s not my eyes |
It’s the world that’s unfocused |
Distracted |
I’m well acquainted with your inelegance and vice |
You’re still more graceful than the night |
That falls in each city with a sprawling indelicacy |
I’m straying further from home |
From my safe routine |
And you’re trying to find your own |
Can you blame me for inexperience |
Just listen |
It’s all the same |
Bodies bare of pretence |
Timid and undressed |
Do you mean to win me with these praises and offenses |
Why ignore me if you profess to adore me |
Somehow I’ve been lifted high above the tops of trees |
From this frightening height |
The buildings seem to be flattened in the streets |
I tell myself |
Don’t look down |
There’s no way to plummet charmingly |
And when I do I know you’ll say |
What a pity |
She’s just not what I expected her to be |
But I can’t let my fear of heights get the best of me |
As my mind and body journey together in a parallel reality |
I realize that if I’m falling |
At least I’m free |
I never want my feet to take me home |
