Original Poem

Free Fall

Newton Was Wrong

Credit: Zátonyi Sándor on Wikimedia (CC BY 3.0)

I always said I was a good judge of character Until he left me at the airport in Russia Not speaking the language

He said no one would ever love much as much as he did If this is true Then the future is but a bleak nothing, empty

I believed butterflies were absent or present Not this ill felt presence of deadness within my center Which fails to ever quicken

In motion I remained perpetually in motion Until acted upon by an unbalanced force Now, inert, I am always at rest but restless

Opposite but far from equal Negativity in all its manifestations Is far greater than any positivity I can muster

They say a little light dispels a great deal of darkness But this does not hold When there is no oxygen to feed the flame

Natalie Frank (Taye Carrol) has had her poetry featured in several anthologies including Untimely Frost. Her fiction has been published in Haunted Waters Press, Weirdbook Magazine, Siren’s Call Publications, Lycan Valley Press and Zero Fiction among others.
