His name was Billy the sky captured his azure eyes and took them out to sea on a ride but he'd never know how beautifully they were in reflection of stars above or worlds below he stopped knowing the day his drunken daddy drank one beer over the line turning his hand into hammer to fix a 2 year old's cries Billy doesn't know much or how truly special he is just that rain makes him cry pounding like nails all over him deteriorated sight, he can only surmise it is something that stings, like bombs that drop from the sequestered sky but don't cry for Billy because Billy doesn't know much or how perfectly the ocean view mirrors his eyes cry thou for his daddy doing time, watching windowed views behind steel prison lines painting stained glass pictures siphoning the blue of sky a haunting reminder of sweet Billy's eyes [This message has been edited by inkedgoddess (03-12-2004 10:36 PM).] |

whoa, tragic....sad and beautiful, i think it's brilliant joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless... |

Very, very powerful. Brought tears to my eyes. While portraying such a sad story, you also portrayed your amazing talent. Extremely well written. |

ooh this really hurts.... so sad  Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |
