Making The Choices

Something surreal and vivid based on dream and decisions.

 

On The Other Side Of The World

 

Watched The People's Actions

 

Listened To People's Words

 

The Lone Angel Waited For The Reactions

 

 

 

For Countless Sands Of Times

 

He Was Once Nobody's Angel

 

Until The Hourglass Was Slowly Crackling

 

From The Moments He Saw And Heard Someone

 

Beautiful Enough To Make Any Angels Fall

 

The Lone Angel Quickly Descended To Be With Her

 

And He Suddenly Became Someone's Man

 

 

 

They've Used The Sands To Build Sand Castle

 

After The Perfect Thrones Were Well Built

 

He Treated Her Like His Personal Queen

 

She Treated Him Like There's No Tomorrow

 

It Was Unexpected Miracle Of Real Love

 

 

 

Love And Happiness Remained As The Time Passed

 

Yet The Sadness Had Already Been Placed

 

Due To The Facts That They Are Not The Same Kinds

 

They Have Never Been Really Together

 

 

 

Her Patience Had Been Fading Away While Waiting

 

She Noticed That He Still Has His Wings

 

Told Him To Leave Her And Fly Away

 

Puzzled By Her Decision And He Did What She Requested

 

 

 

Just Only For A Small And Painful Moments

 

He Came To The Ultimate Realization;

 

 

 

"This Is Not What I Want"

 

 

 

After The Blazing Flight Down To Earth

 

He Panicky Rushed Back To Her

 

To Tell Her That He Made A Mistake

 

 

 

He Had Been Gone For No More Than Two Days

 

But He Was Already Way Too Late

 

She's With Somebody Else

 

 

 

He Tried To Prove To Her How Sorry He Was

 

But Her Sights Went Blind On Him

 

And Her Ears Went Deaf On Him

 

He Finally Left Her Alone So She Can Be Happy

 

 

 

Tormented By The Thoughts Of His Choices

 

Wondered Where And What He Did Wrong

 

The Lone Angel Wandered Around The Mortals

 

Thought Of Nothing Else But Her And Her Alone

 

 

 

After A While He Was Wondering How She's Doing

 

He Flew To The Rooftops Of The Buildings

 

Walked Around The Gutters And Watched For Her

 

Waited To Get A Glimpse Of Her Appearance

 

Until The Day He Saw Her With Other Female Mortals

 

They Were Talking And Smoking Cigarettes

 

 

 

Disturbed By The Sight Of Her

 

Disturbed By The Way She Sounded

 

Disturbed By How Much She Had Changed

 

 

 

He Couldn't Stand It Anymore

 

Thinking How To End The Pain

 

 

 

His Hands Reached Over His Shoulders

 

Grabbed His Wingspans And Held On Tightly

 

 

 

The Flocks Of Birds Flew Up And Soared Recklessly

 

Along With Their Painful Screeching Sounds

 

As The Lone Angel Ripped His Wings Out Of His Back

 

 

 

Stood Over The Edge Of The Building

 

Slowly Spread His Arms Widely

 

Looked Down At Her For One More Time

 

 

 

"My Sacrifice Is Your Salvation"

 

He Whispered

 

"For In The Name Of Love"

 

 

 

He Lifted His Control Off Of His Balance

 

Allowed Himself To Fall Forward

 

 

 

Watched How Close He Is Getting To The Pavements

 

He Turned His Back Toward The Ground

 

So He Can Look At The Sky

 

In Order To Bid A Farewell

 

 

 

The Sounds Of Cars Honked

 

As The Once A Lone Angel Crashed Upon

 

 

 

Bleeding To Death On The Top Of Freshly Damaged Car

 

He Let Out One Last Breath And Tried To Whisper

 

 

 

That Was Until I Woke Up

 

And Now I'm Trying To Decide My Choices

 

Author's Note

Debating with myself on how she's worth for everything or for nothing. And should I or shouldn't I wait for her.

[Howard Savage]

Great poem, just remember that your decision creates your circumstances.

[Colleen C Dunphy]

Wow, it is a beautiful sad journey you take us on. Always wondering how our choices will effect our tomorrows.
Live in the moment and love what you have, the future is the future.

[Ice QueenJen]

I really liked this, and I am going through a somewhat similar situation. Your writing gets you to really think about your life and how you choose to live it!

[The Analog Kid]

Wow....what a wild ride. I think there's some tweaks you can do, but I really dig the unconscious, surreal scenes. Dreams, jumping off buildings, all great stuff to contemplate.
