Catch me as I fall upwards

Lay me down in my cloud coffin

Fly with me on angel wings

Sing me our last anthem

Dream me the end of the story

And dance with me around the stars

before

we

fall

I don't really know where this came from, or if it's any good. But if you could just let me know what you think, I will listen

I love the imagery in this poem! And the idea of a cloud coffin is very nice. However, "flying on angel's wings" and a few other parts are a bit cliché  and you might want to change them a little bit.

Very dramatic and beautiful! I love that it's also open to interpretation. :)

I love it. To me the part of being in the skies is an expression of living at the highest ad fullest. Being happy-- or should I say hihgh?-- off life or a moment. Small words but there is great room for interpretation and enjoyment. Well done.

Wow!!! I absolutley love this poem's structure and unique rythym. This theme is brilliant, and flexible with ideas. You painted a picture in my mind that was so vivid yet mysterious, which is what good poets do to their readers. Brilliant!

I think that every poem I write is an experimentation because they are all kinda different and similar. I don't know how i really intended people to see or what to get out of this, but i appreciate all of your comments :)

To me, this is just so simple. But the emotion in it, is just so profound. To many, it may seem insignificant, but to people like us that wanna be love or are...I don't know...it means so much. The imagery you use, as with all your poems, is just vivid. I love the title. It drew me in. And everything about it. Lovely. I love how you used no punctuation. Are you experimenting? As always, you're awesome with your writing. Never cease to write. Never.
