Sailing Away

These scars, they are trying to heal

But to me, you still seem to be unreal

I'm trying to accept your invitation

The past, I'm trying to give my goodbye salutation

But it's not as easy as it may seem

The devil still remains in my dreams

But you are the brightest angel I have come to know

Everything about you simply glows

And no one has ever held you down

You have never lost your crown

Yes, you're unlike me in every way

But it's why I have fallen in love with you today

Dark sunsets always surround my life

But with you, I am able to see a promising sunrise

You are the one simple cure to my lasting infection

You are the light that shows me my direction

And how could I ever leave you, my dear

Your presence erases every bit of the fear

Let's just sail away, leave all these lies

And I will wipe these last tears from my eyes

Posted by lemon 2008-07-15 21:26:22 .... Wonderful! This one goes to my favorites. It was melancholy and promising all at once. You have a unique way of putting things into words and it always leaves a lasting impression. The first, third, and the last stanzas really speak to me. Keep them coming =] + Report this comment
Posted by CDeCarlo 2008-07-17 15:30:56 .... I like how you see love as a cure to your fears, and how love will make things better. But I don't think it can do that all of the time. It's not as easy as that, but I like the poem a lot. + Report this comment
Posted by resistanceisfreedom 2008-07-17 20:32:03 .... DeCarlo i actually couldn't agree with you more. and honestly, i don't really look at love as a cure to my sadness anyway. in fact, love for me has never ever been a field full of roses. my love for anyone has always ended in a bad way. but i do believe that love can be found. and when you really do find that right person, then i think everything negative will die. + Report this comment
