city lights

inspired by charlie chaplin. two lines lifted from the last unicorn.

the fresh taste of a recently plucked flower

i slide between my teeth

too delighted to utter the words

you'll eventually figure out

by only the touch of my hand.

the days of raking s**t

are but a blink at another man's life

for your angel wings

carried me over dirty streets

and dank prison cells

to a garden that knows only spring

and green life.

brown eyes are the most beautiful

because its the only time

the color of mud and dust

can be the cause of envy

by the hues of the sea and sky.

i knew you before the morning,

and i'll know you long after this night

when men are fairytales

and books are written by rabbits

i will reflect on your face

and smile.

Wow
I absolutely loved this, and it inspires me

"brown eyes are the most beautiful

Fantastic and well done. I am jealous :}
