Poem Title:
Poem
He stepped over her head, with polite procession. Climbing the pearl ladder of dreams Seeking the world, something he would call Heaven. FeetplantedFirmly in the clouds, tapping his toes on transparent sheets of oblivion. TAP TAP TAP away the roads of old. See the flowers budding anew, watch his tender eyes as life blooms, And he finally began. She knew him. She knew there was a game he yearned to play; a muscle he yearned to flex; a hole in his heart he yearned to fill. A teary eyed—green eyed girl peered from behind, Witnessing a life come true. A kiss of rain on a hot, sunny day...his relief, his time to fly. As soon as the rain came Such beautiful ruin followed; Places he traveled, Children he sired, The woman he always desired. And so he waved. And so she cried. Such a way for her to die; truth be told she knew he’d forget for a bit. Truth be let go; He moved further away from when she knew him best. All eagles learn to fly and as they spread their wings they soar above the rest. Riding the current, ridding the past. Looking to the sky Placing his hand on the moon and his foot on the greatest mountain of all; love. He is love. She has witnessed his greatness in and wilted because of it; only to grow and find love comes and goes on it’s own. One of these days, she thinks, he will remember that he loved me. One of these years he’ll look back and see that while his life was soaring, another’s was painfully beginning. One of these days, she’ll forget how nice he was to her. And he’ll remember how nice it was to see her smile. But she’ll never know, for she’ll have a life of her own.
