With the thirst in eye..
    It dreamed in mind,
       to fly so high..

Like a butterfly...
    It wished to fly,
            so freely...

Even when,
      it was impossible to fly...
    It kept its wings,
          and treated it so confidently...

With its tears in eyes...
    And with, black clouds of        hopelessness...
     It passed its painful days,
           with all sorrows...

But one day, as dreamed...
   It fly so high,
      with full of energy....
And attained,
       its life’s destiny....
Bird with a broken wing

Carefully floating adrift
in space ~
with out  fear of loss,
embracing all ideas
of gain - of love.

I am ravenous ~
filling the emptiness
with unlimited emotion

Swept up by the realness
of possibility ~
aware of my truth
and clearly able to recognize the truth of you

calmly I pluck feathers from
my wings and silently
hand them to you.

Fly ~ be free ~ Love

There was an angel who fell from the sky
And I mended his broken wings
But it pained me so
When he had to leave
He blessed me goodbye
And kissed me on the cheek
And promised that
He’d come back for me

icarus, i believe
is heavily overwritten
especially by me

but golden eyes
and golden wings
never melt
from the mind
of a poet;

it's our apollos
that drive our pens
to begin with

Disintegrated wings,
Even angels fall too.
A glance up to the sky,
Caught a transcending view.

Landed on two feet,
An angel's new terrain.
Only few will sit and worship,
But most attempt in vain.

The sky was never cleared,
In fact, formations all the more.
A rabbit, a cake, an astronaut,
Even rain would still downpour.

Following in hopeful doubt,
Freedom's symbol is no chain,
Bare in mind, no change occurred,
The droplets were always acid rain.

Caught in fair deceit,
For my fault was to submit.
When glancing from the outside,
I didn't see the whole of it.

Because angels never fall,
With wings upon their back.
For a fall is cunning foolery,
And we're victims of attack.

Stuck in hypnotic values,
Our worth seemed to accrue.
But we must've forgotten the fact:
That the devil walks here too.

Birth to death
no choice
no power
get what you get

parents
say they know
say they understand
but sometimes they cause
our deepest pains,
words,
phrases,
disappointment,
echo out of their mouths
bouncing around our skulls
tearing us apart
"I was your age too once"
but you were never me.
"why do you have to be like this"
choosing not to see my pain
doesn't mean it's not there
"lazy little brat"
"act like an adult,
be more responsible,
more mature"
"you are a CHILD!"
I want wings
I want to fly
to get away
to be free
to be me
get what you get

-they say it will get better but what if I cant wait that long...
random and not my best but whatever

We flew aloft
On mechanical wings
And suddenly the heavens
Were within reach
To those who could
Build the machines
That could take them there

I will paint these words,

On the wings of your sparrow.

To fly, into tommorow.

War
The fiery romance among the thousand guns annihilated the angel's nascent wings.
