[bodytext] => High above the staggering sky With the weight of the world gripped deep within its talons Are wings that soar far beyond The disregarded corpses and bones of life’s actors And claims the sky and earth as its domain For you are a predator in a world of prey Who hunts out the phonies, fakes, liars, and thieves And swallows them down into the pit of truth Where destiny waits like a slumbering beauty To be kissed awake by the lips of fate Pleasure is the woes of forgotten pasts While pain is the realization of the present That what was doesn’t always translate into what is And that the place you see yourself going doesn’t always exist Alone on that mountain top where you thought you belonged Only to find yourself surrounded by yourself Knowing that nothing in life truly matters For things matter most when they cease to matter at all Despite this grim outlook, this foreboding reality You carry on in a world not always in tune Singing a song corrupted by bad timing, lost morals And ears muted by the tragedy of today’s modern tendencies For love is distance; the great divider While heartache is time; always there even when it’s gone Romancing honesty can leave you paralyzed Unaccompanied with knowing, empty inside You have tasted the fruit, and swallowed it full But it lingers on your tongue and burns the part of you That your years of searching cannot hide For you are the towering fire that keeps others warm The sun while the world around you is the darkness of space Blinding with the light that you omit Radiating, softly playing a tune of longing falling blue A boxer, a lover, truth seeker….the Trovador [comments] => 1 [counter] => 154 [topic] => 43 [informant] => zedwards [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
