Falling Up

Well.

 

I am tumbling up,

Yes, I said up,

Higher and higher

Above the universe.

This climb is unconscious,

I didn’t mean to go.

No matter how I try

To fall back down to you,

Physics won’t do its work.

Newton messed up

Somewhere along the line.

It’s gone past the silly feeling

Of soaring aimlessly,

Tranquility has given way

To the terror of my situation.

I’ve fallen up

And I can’t get down!

Must have hit my head

Somewhere along the line,

For I can’t remember

What occurred just before

This ascending started.

All that I know

Is I can’t stop this fall,

There’s nothing to grab on,

Nothing to hold.

Rather, just ahead of me,

There are golden gates with…

Oh.

My.

God.

And what it is, is nothing short of Brilliant! Magnificent piece displaying much Talent! Excellent! I love this most unique way of describing falling in love! Absolutely Astonishing! A piece of poetic expression to be proud of, for sure!
Now that you've pointed out the meaning, I can easily see the meaning. Even more Brilliant this becomes.

Oh my God. This poem is absolutely beautiful. I love it. It's so metaphysical, even though its simple. It has alot of deep meaning to it, too. I really love this poem! Thanks for sharing!
