I walk down a street

I walk down a street
I see a stranger
Walking towards me
Time slows
Noise fades away until all becomes silent
Limp my body moves forward
Pushed by some unseen force
I see a stranger
Stand before me
I am frozen
I hear my very heart beat with each breath I take
There is pain
There is joy
There is warmth
I see a stranger walk away
Light begins to fade
I fall on the street

It's interesting how you word this, it makes the reader think. It needs some punctuation, without it, it appears bare. Also, not capitalizing every new line would make it appear to flow better, not seem so choppy.

Ex-

I walk down a street-
I see a stranger
walking towards me.

Just play around with it, see what works. It would possibly add some personality to the poem :)

Limp my body moves forward -- I would add a comma between 'Limp' and 'my'

Otherwise, it's a really nice poem that just needs a bit of tweening. Keep writing!

Quite an interesting piece of poetry indeed. I'm intrigued by the presence of this "stranger". He/she seems to be a metaphor for something expected yet came too soon. It was ended well too; not to empty but open-ended enough to keep your reader's imagination running. Anyway, I leave my kudos for this beautifully eerie and sensuous poem. :D

Very interesting, I wonder if the 'stranger' is a 'stranger' at all, judging by the narrator’s reaction towards them. Your choice of words is really good. It effectively takes the reader through a journey of emotion with the narrator. I would really like to hear what inspired you to write this. Very nice work. Write on!
