Darkened skies Enlightened souls Careening through black night Disheartened cries Opposing poles Felt though not in sight Ever sagacious Though not rapacious As they travel toward new love Burn with intent So un-content At no whispers from above Instincts guide Directed course The past it trails behind Small guilt inside Yet no remorse This meeting of two minds A charted path Frustrated wrath At pain of separation Yet still they fly ‘Cross cosmic sky In search of immolation When futures meet Soul mates born When distances have died Know not defeat Nor words of scorn On the days these stars collide Explosions Implosions Two gentle giants meld To clarify And justify Inside the heart they've held No more doubts Away all fears Forget all past transgressions To heavens shout Let the world hear And feel the lasting impression |

Not much I can say....all the words ran from me when they saw this work of art....all I can say is this is nothing short of amazing. ------------------ "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage." -Billy Corgan- |

Oh wow oh wow oh WOW My dear this is too fantastic. Really. Your word choice is superb: 'When distances have died...' sigh. And I LOVE: (you) 'Ever sagacious, though not rapacious'. A charted path indeed... LOUD applause! ![]() |

Christopher....I too have been exactly where you are! I loved this poem, it expresses the feelings in your heart so crystal clear. Keep this beatiful work up!

Chris, I can truly appreciate the style you've written your last couple of pieces in, having few successful attempts at such pieces. To say GJ or WD to this would be an injustice to you. Indeed, a lasting impression. ------------------ Michael Anderson Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream? |
