A Distant Sky

We both had wings clipped yet we could still fly...
A loss for words moistened a tear that wouldn't dry...
Now just two lost souls in the pouring rain...
Left to fly free and hold an overflowing pain...
I couldn't write poem that would turn your head...
Now stranded on a path where a heart sits dead...
Even into today I can still taste that sweet smile...
Its more then words or worlds that create these miles...
Each day I blow a kiss to a cloudy distant sky...
Hoping that just one day one kiss may find your eye...

A heartfelt write, Michael. Sometimes it's funny to keep on waiting someone that never expects you.. But yeah, that's what our hearts been trained for, isn't it? To taste bitter til you find the sweet. Sorry for mumbling around, I'll stop now :D

This is very sweet. A distant sky. You know from the top it don't seem like it's too far, but from the ground, it's a thousand miles away. Thanks for sharing this with us. Lucilla
