i knew a boy
named jesse
with wings
of whitest feather
his heart was
nestled on his sleeve
his image
tooled in leather

a bleeder
of affection
his soul as
his friend and guide
but those wings
he carried on his back
became a thorn
turned in his side

jesse, broken angel
couldn't plug
the hole
wallowing in his
sorrow
when the life of him
she stole

i pondered
the fate of him
with wings folded tight
in fear
i urged him
to take flight
but angel
wouldn't hear

so i let him hide
within my pocket
and hoped
that he would see
that in the darkness
is no place
for angel-wings
to be

jesse...
wear your bandage
but listen
when you hear the wind sing
your wounds will heal
and if you try
you can fly
on mended wing...

no i wont be afraid.
no i...wont be afraid,
just as long
as you stand,
stand by me...

Sorry, didn't make the connecton. The Poet Jesse....  

I didn't know you wrote inspirational type poetry too.... Your very good.  

This is a wonderful piece...  

I know that life like flying is a solo activity... but its so important to have friends on the ground cheering us on and not shooting at us..  

a lovely write from the heart.

I've gotten to know Jesse outside of passions, and have heard the sorrow he carries. He's a totally sweetie-pie, and I wish he would come back around  

Jesse - We all love you here

Beautiful write!...
I love this verse to set up the end...

                "a bleeder
                 of affection
                 his soul as
                 his friend and guide
                 but those wings
                 he carried on his back
                 became a thorn
                 turned in his side"

Very nicely done!!
