"I Don;t Regret"

Silk cannot compare to your gentle touch.

Although I may be in love with you, I feel as though I am chasing a lost cause.

I have thrown myself over this cliff and I forgot to pack a parachute.

I'm falling fast and friction is non-existent.

As I continue to speed, gravity pulls harder. 

As I may try to hike back up that mountain, I do so without a harness.

And the smallest of nudges have the strength to knock me off of that Cliffside.

And as I'm falling, I'm wondering why I was on the edge of that cliff in the first place.

Was I hoping that I would fly?

Or in the back of my mind, did I know that it was a decision that would surly send me plummeting to the sharp rocks at the bottom.

Whatever the decision, I do not regret it.

Because I would rather know that I could fly, than continue life, wondering.

This is (of course) fabulous. The only thing I'd suggest would be to write something a tad different than the usual. Don't get me wrong, you have a collection of topics. You just need to give your writing a certain.. twist. And trust me, I need to do the same. This peice is very.. lovely. I liked reading it. I could picture in my head the images of the cliff and of the ground as you plummet towards it. Fabulous!

.....Of the poems of yours that I have read, this has meant the most to me so far. It has a great way of pulling the reader in, from the very first lines that reminisce about the touch of a love's touch, to the pessimistic thoughts of a rekindled flame. I think it reaches us readers on that level, because we DO think off cliffs and either feel ourselves being lifted back up or pulled to the ground. "And the smallest of nudges..." It expresses how fragile the person on the cliff is, how malleable we are to our lover's response or decisions. In the end, even if we find that we don not have those wings to fly, that we were just headed for a long fall...no we don't regret the act of stepping over. Personally I also liked the last line "I would rather know I could fly" very hopeful end to an almost pessimistic theme of cliffs and falling.
Very Very Nice
