Over the Cliff

October 27, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

I want you to lead me
on, even if it’s off
a cliff
besides, I
rather fall for
something, fore
what is this life,
without risk?

if
connection is hallucinogenic,
let me
trip

if
attraction is a brew
let me
sip

if
love is the ingredients
let me in
the mix

hesitation is a downer
but what an upper
if
I could have
you
for my last
supper!

so please, oh oh please
lead me
on
you’ll find that I
was already leaning
forward

onward, readying myself
for this
jump to glory!

finally feeling bliss
on the way down
and if we shall capture
anything
I’ll develop wings
upon my flight back up
and beyond

because there’s just
something about an
“us”
which makes me feel I can
fly beyond this
fence

so please, lead me
on
off
forward
onward
from this
cliff

and I’ll count it down from 3

Three…
Two…
Bliiiiiiisssssss!!!!!!!
