Sight Seeing

I met her in the rubble

Her face looked untouched, like an unpopped bubble

There were birds flying overhead

The toxic filled air turned their wings a painful red

She hadn't been brainwashed

But unlike her my mind was somewhat lost

I asked her for help as she passed me by

She just looked at me and sighed

I lost sight of her in the black sunset

My hands began to tremble, my head so upset

She was the purest thing I ever laid eyes on

But just like those birds she was gone

I guess the only way to join her is in flight

But my wings remain nailed together, so tight

Posted by resistanceisfreedom 2008-03-12 14:50:54 To R.E. Potter No it's not really about a lost love. This is mainly about just a person catching a glimpse of one of the most beautiful girls he has ever laid eyes on but he realizes he can never have her because she isn't like him. He thinks of her as an angel because her skin is so fair. And that's where the whole flying thing comes into play. He thinks she is an angel so he desires to fly up after her but he knows that he has no such ability. And hey did you read my poem "The Good Soldier?" Remember you told me to write a happier poem. Well that's what I came up with. I don't know in my mind it leaves a happy feeling after reading it. So if you haven't i suggest you read it. + Report this comment
