Carl Fraser Oh Paint me a far away horizon Across a tranquil azure sea, Where sits a peaceful deserted island Where no one lives but me Free from prying eyes and greedy lies Free from scars that never heal Let me be free to just be me Instead of someone who isn't real To live out my days giving thanks and praise To my creator in heaven above And leave behind the noise of worldly toys And just bask daily in his love To be stripped of pain by the spirits rain And washed until my robes are clean For Ive had enough of my fellowman's company And im disgusted by what Ive seen So I will step into my painted horizon Framed in a forever state of bliss And I turn back only for a fading glimpse As I blow the world a farewell kiss. Laced by the seas we see, you beg for a life so far Far from all I've dreamed of, tranquil and spirit rain A once false painted paradise, Bliss, a farewell kiss, drowned the old heartache Not knowing where it's coming from Yesterday, I woke up to a new skyline, A horizon, formed by your eyes, Across a tranquil azure sea Far from all existing companies, you stood In front of the ocean - your ocean! Sailing on every calm side of the turquoise sea Stripping back into the innocence you once were A gentleman, caressing the oats in a peaceful state The moon breaking your once trusted mind The silence of heaven, healing every scar inside Redemption is a secret we all beg for It was always you, someone lost, misguided by love Somebody, I once dreamed of. A dream lost out at sea Calling out for me --- you chose to pray alone Repelled by the world so cold, yet here I stand Alone, on the other side of that farewell kiss For you, I paint a faraway horizon of bliss (my friend) Waiting and dreaming about you, In another lifetime ~A Poet Destroyer Collaboration~

Hi Carl, I know this was not the poem, you asked me to collaborate with. However, it spoke to me. I find blissfulness on every side of a horizon, Congratulations on your awesome win. I'm overwhelmed on the outcome of every poem. Stop by my latest blog "MY FELLINGS" or my newest poem "FLESH" if you'd like or have time. I'd like to post the collaboration on my poem list in the near future with your permission. Always & Forever ~LINDA~

I wonder how this would turn out if someone was waiting on the other side of this horizon... A wonderful and a fav. :) Carl. To bask in the sunshine, and no worries of the ugliness this world possess, would be the sunshine, I'd forever want... Super love this... LINDA
