Fly so fast, cry for wind Carry me between your wings Me, me, tiny, olive skinned Blood of beggars, blood of kings Lost forever, never found Roar your cry across the land Where the road once walked and wound Stranded in mountains of sand Clamp your claws around my waist ‘till my harness groans and falls You will hold my torso raised You, impenetrable wall No giant strong enough to win Or to grab us from the sky No demon vile, no sinner's skin No Cyclops to burn us with his eye Fly my Harpy, take our dreams Kill the bad, the hurt, the sad Cherish fragile shining beams Screech seductively and glad Fly so fast, cry for wind Carry me, my love, your wings Me, me, tiny, olive skinned You and me are blood of kings *** March 23, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Wonderful write, Darren - whimsical and impactful, but such care taken with the words and phrasing ... I so love writing that is crafted with unique phrasing, but done so NOT for the sake of "unique-ness" itself, but for the flow and rhythm and MOOD of the subject matter - exactly as you have done here. Competency states its own voice, and does so to those who are its master. LOVE this, my friend - a fav for sure!

Greg, thank you for such a wonderful compliment. In a way this poem wrote itself, I knew what I wanted it to be, the rhythm and all, that followed naturally.. Again, thank you my friend.

This powerful poem moved me, Darren. I was moved from inertia to action. This thought enchanting poem awakened my muse, and for that I thank you. A riveting, visceral write. As said by the other talented poets/poetesses ... blood of kings is such a magnificent allegory. I love your beautiful mind. A diamond penned poem. Love and more love to you and yours.
