If only I could envy the heavens
The pureness of a barren sky
The taste of thunder in my mouth
I would long to fly and be still upon it
But I live in the realm of earth
And my dreams reserved to walking
And in walking to living
And in living to love
And with love to learn
And with knowledge to understand
And with understanding gain wisdom
How simply it would be to dream of the sky
Yet I wander the world in yearning

Thanks guys =) I also draw, if you guys ever wanna see some of my pieces I post them in the display your artwork thread all the time.

Here is another recent poem of mine

Flowers speak in silence
Brilliance is all they know
Like rain only knows
How to fall into the earth
Humans are like no other
They love and hate altogether
Surgical Cruelty an art
We have come to perfect
While Flowers have their beauty
And flowing storms their might
We have the words to wound each other
More so than swords and arms

Shakespeare doesn't have anything on you! I mean you write beautifully with such depth and description. Like Yoda would say: "Talented truly you are!" Lol

This piece is a few weeks old. You guys liked the other ones so I figured id share this one too!=)

A streak of Gray

No summer flight
When the sun is out of sight
The clouds took the light away
My soul is left a streak of gray
Leaves fall away
The branches bare
The sweet despair of winter death

No summer dreams
When winter brings
A gray lined-sky amid the trees
No fires to burn within my hearth
No life at all left in this world

On broken wings our dreams depart
To bleed away our glory days
Joys to dust and desert from springs
The world filled with elephants
Trampling the youth of happiness
Leaving Two-dimensional souls
Unable to reach past their own boxes
Stand down, the fight was lost
