FAR ABOVE

Send me far above the Earth, Where my heart cannot send it’s screaming words. Where in the light my fear loses its way. Send for them as the King would, for all my thoughts. Arrest them as prisoners to our sovereignty. Cast away as a curse that pain that causes The bleeding in my lungs. Let loose all the words in my mouth, May their bitter flames be put out. For the stirring of the dragon that Is me will surely uncurl his wicked body. His dry scales draw my tears. His words draw thorns from my skin. I had only to flinch to Have agony sent all over my body. I would not worry over your death! I would not miss all that you are! Your dreams as you sleep, appear before me as foolish, sick and vain. If I could I would murder you there, As you lay slumbering, with your despicable Breaths and that silly grin. Your throat would gush the color red. Because you take me from His hand. With your sly words, with your weakness, I let you draw me away. Making me long for the day in this present night. As all things are hidden from me. To know is but to hide my face even more. Causing in my soul a tremor of some Unknown and terrible fright. Was I your slave? To have waited in that cell for your company. To be so low then, as to long for it… But I know now what I did not then. I was king before you. Set up high in the heavens , The center of His eye. There I could catch glimpses of his greatness. Seeing what made His people tremble in terror. A massive power far beyond my own. Who am I? I would ask. To be so favored… Speaking in mysteries from a love I could Not fully understand. I could only grasp I was His son. Before all the wars and endless sins. He covered me and safely Hid me away from my enemies.

who hath thy brawn might? so that whence came our trials, in the darkest void you shone bright. To be as he and not he where he spirited in fierce agitation a cause for our laughs and smiles Then as a soft breeze blows from our lips came our whispered affection As pain breaks like a tide of hopes against slags and our fears confide to steal from us our peace which the arching Sun through the passing of days grew like a flower's head.

DAISY

That is one girl I haven't seen in a while. Her memory turns my head with thoughts. Her eyes shifted to the right while trying to explain; hands clasped on her lap. I never caught a momment like this where I thought its passing I would never miss. But I fight all the same to maintain the feelings it brought and just the same lose them. What if I would look at her one last time and say... knowing all that I know now... I would never let her go. Knowing now how three years could steal into nothingness. All I know now is that they were spent without her. Could anyone ever mean as much as her. 10 years built into one simple smile and one simple look. Then wonder now how my heart could be so exposed and open, because all that filled it is gone. Sometimes I look up so confused at all that I see around me. Suddenly I notice people I don't recognize at all. I have to focus really hard to remind myself of all that has past. But each momment loses it worth in the churning of my heart. I want you to know of my bitter war. I was a captain on a High Hill, I would motion the ranks forward. My wish was to obliterate my enemy, that which was all my pain. I fought it so hard or rather I endured sleepless nights and lost feelings of trying to chase her fading ghost. Then momments came where I looked back full of remorse on the crest of those hills of my life. However, I kept moving looking back at us dancing in the yard of our simple cottage. There is a bright sun back there, and every momment filled with a vibrant understanding. All that I knew stood before me. But I guess I only forget that I looked back just as I do now. I forget and remember everything with a bit exaggeration.
