"If Only We Fly"

A poem in reference to internal struggle and love's cycle with its effects.

 

“If Only We Fly”

 

Dark sorrows are intelligent.

Jovial highs are smart.

This is my escape, an ever looming haze above my horizons.

The pain is eased, mind at rest, the hours pass bye.

 

Only when we meet do I soar without wings.

Only when in your presence am I free.

Only when life rushes by us do we catch a glimpse.

Only when we meet do I fall with green horns.

 

Bright conquests are enthralling.

Wicked scams are seething.

Bravery collapses as age progresses, consumed at an early juncture.

Characteristics of nurture can torment a soul in a undetermined manner.

 

Only when your diction creates a tone and you do not realize,

Only when your voice shakes in the cold,

Only when we embrace the life do we thrive.

Only when your diction creates a tone do you understand.

 

Writing nothing but saying everything,

Our connection is strong.

The bond breaks,

Saying nothing, writing nothing for it is not sent,

It has been written but sealed away.

Secrets are kept as scared oath.

 

Emotions run rampant with incredible haste to define love:

Love is ironic,

Love is a satirical,

Love is despair.

Wondrous piece of literary art.

That was unbelievable, truly a great piece of writing. The concept of love is hard to define, yet you most definitely expressed love in a beautiful way.

Emotions run rampant with incredible haste to define love:
Love is ironic,
Love is a satirical,
Love is despair.

So very true, I really enjoyed these thoughts here. This is well written and pondering as well as intriguing.
