If you had
a beautiful girl
lying naked
in your bed,
would you
take advantage
of her innocence?
Or,
would you hold
her heart
in your hands,
and love her
the whole
night
through?

Freedom hangs
like heaven
over the hearts
of arrogant men.
They have
forgotten freedom
always comes
at a price.

My heart
is more brutal
than the raging
blizzard outside.
Want it?
Then you must cross
its frozen tundra,
and risk
being turned
to ice.

I knew you as a person
who wore daffodils in her hair;
dancing barefoot in the fields.
Always unpredictable,
your aura, like an aurora of Pandora's open box.
Recklessly compassionate in your unrelenting affection.

I remember when they told me
that you had passed away.
I watched as they returned your body to the earth.
They say that you're in heaven now,
but I don't know how this can be true
when every day I still feel you in my heart.

Maybe your daisy chain was a halo
and the fields that you danced on were clouds.
I think I finally understand.
I knew you as a person,
but maybe you weren't.
Maybe you were just an angel
that got lost along the way.
This is my first attempt at a free verse poem, please feel free to send me a message with feedback or critique. I honestly don't know what I am doing and writing this was a huge challenge for me. This is for anyone who has lost someone close to them in their lives. People die, but they live on in the hearts and souls of the people who loved and cherished them. Carry their spirits into the new world and they will live on forever.

someone once told me
no one cares unless you're
pretty
or
dying

but it scares me
how often those two overlap
