Flying high above the clouds
Just to set out your shroud
Trapped inside with nowhere to go
But suddenly, the plane has gone slow

Skyrocketing to the earth
You wonder if it’s worth
It to die and to never be found

Watching you fly in the air
Plummeting to the ground and you want to help
But you have to stay strapped to your chair
You can hear a dog yelp
From off in the distance
You know there is no more resistance

You know that it is over so you give up the fight
You don’t want to die like a knight
So I decided to write
This poem about your flight
the flight that changed your life
and mine
but not for the better.

Do you cower at the sight
of its slender figure
slowly slithering closer
across the cracked fall leaves?

they crunch under the weight
of your black and green scales
winding your way

Like a thread
flowing along in the dust
your bright red eyes
pierce my soul like a dagger
and when I fall to the ground
you slide up my chest
until we are face to face

I look you in the eyes
never wavering
never blinking
unmoving
your tongue flickering
mocking me

But I can't take it
My eyes twitch
almost unnoticeable
and the fire in your eyes
seems to get bigger
more powerful

The horns on your head
glowing red
like the devil inside me
And your eyes turn blue
crystal
like the crashing waves
outlining the setting sun
behind it
But my heart has frozen
your eyes cold as ice
pierce my soul like a knife
but I am already dead
.................................

You said to get my head out of the clouds
You said I was standing on thin ice
So I fell
crashing through the ice
but now my head is underwater

I'm not looking for some superhero
I don't need Ghandi
I really wouldn't like an Einestein
from Harvard or Yale
All I'm looking for is someone
who will recognize my flaws
and embrace them
who will see my fears
and protect me from them
who will notice my passions
and help me to achieve my goals
Someone who will see me crushed
just to pick me up and make me fly
and who will decide to soar with me
Honestly, all that I'm looking for
Is *you

I know
That no one is perfect
but why do we have to play by the rules
because you are perfect
For me..

Standing here
on this big hill
glistening with morning dew
I feel tall
I feel powerful
no one can keep me down
and yet
I am just a fraction
a smaller part
of this world
and with the many other worlds
that lie beyond ours
I am small
no one can see me here
no one can here me
I am but a mere figure of the universe
That will never change
And I am okay with that

because I know that I can be more
I can be more that this crumb
barely living on the edge of our planet
I can be more than a fraction
more than a fraction of a fraction
No matter what
I am still a figure of the universe

Your tears
slither down my windowpane
or land neatly with a plunk
on my rooftop
But you never shine
The bright sun shines
It gives our world light and warmth
but you stand there all the while
blowing in the gentle breeze
waiting for your day to come
waiting for your chance,
your chance to *shine

Hie alta stare non possunt,
lacessendo et ventus aeri,
ad nihilum deduces me
ferte me

//Translation\

I can stand here tall
challenging the wind and sky
to sweep me up
and carry me away

striature il bicchiere
come una lacrima contro la mia faccia
le nubi piangono con me

//Translation\

streaking down the glass
like a tear against my face
the clouds cry with me

if you've tried one thousand times
and you've failed
then try one thousand more

and if only one thing works
you've won
this endless battle

Literally speaking
we all think literally
we speak literally
we practically breathe literal
but if you find that one person
the person who speaks with
passion, truth, and justice
and who doesn't use the facts
to prove their worthiness
then they are the literal
definition of perfect

No string holds me
No chains bind me
Nothing is holding me back
But you are still here
by my side
The wind blowing your hair in your face
And I'm not sure if I care
But why have I not left?
I have every opportunity to go
But I haven't gone

Watching you walk toward me
like a cat hunting its prey
But I remain stuck in the air
This place of agony and pain
I force myself not to go
Not go come running,
crumbling into your arms

And I look deep into your marble blue eyes
Refusing to break my strong gaze
Never
I gasp
Again
Sighing,
I turn around
Not to look at you
standing there with your slitted blue eyes
ever again.

A heave in a deep breath
adrenaline courses through me
making my weak body shudder
I struggle
I huff, annoyed
My legs feel like ice
my head pounds
Sharp pain echoes through my shoulders
My world
My life
crashes beneath me
in one single blow
I drag myself to my feet
sighing heavily
gasping for breath
*Even you can't keep me down

I stand here
Tall
Happy
Feeling better than I ever had
The single light receptor
In this black and white world

The single tear
gliding to the ground
landing with a plunk
That no one can hear but you
That single tear
sailing down your cheek
that tear
can tell its story
the story of heartbreak
death
sadness
life and loss
That single tear
that you friends and family
can see with clarity
they will know
the story of that tear
as soon as they see it slide
down your pale face
just that one glistening tear
says it all

                                                     forbidden wonders
                                               hidden beneath the waves
                                        All the secrets forming underneath
Buried in the darkened deep. Hidden. So no soul will find it. Forgotten. Never found
Sinking low, swimming deeper. falling onto the black sand. Falling in the darkened deep
Finding it's hidden secrets. It's virtues. The masterpiece that lies within it's dark shape

I will find the forbidden wonders. The hidden virtues. The  *Darkened Deep

and I fall                                                         D
Suspended in the air
Then my feet                                                       O
My hand leaves its hold
My voice comes as a hoarse whisper
"F l y"                                                               ­              W
Will I fly?
Will I fall?
I can't go any higher  
This never ending mountain continues forever                           N
It is no different          
I look down
I can only see an endless abyss of clouds
I look at the sky above me
I grab the ledge
My feeble hand reaches up
Higher
Yet I keep going
I know I can't
I can't make it
Higher
Higher
Climbing this endless mountain
Up this never ending cliff
I heave a breath and I continue
My legs slowly grow weaker
My arms shudder
My shoulders ache
Higher
Higher
And I can only go up
My hand leaves a streak of blood that now lines my cheek
I wipe a tear from my eyes
The cliff makes deep cuts in my palms
Higher
Higher
Up
The only way
My breath comes short and rough
I scale the jagged rocks
Higher
Higher
Is go up
And all I can do
The bottom is far beneath me
Higher
Higher
I can only climb up
It's peak lies hidden in the heights of the clouds
I am clutching to the side of this endless mountain
