Introducing: Carl Fraser & Poet Destroyer

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 I've had enough of my fellowman's company
And I'm disgusted by what I've 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 by old heartache
       Not knowing where it's coming from
       Yesterday, I woke up to a new skyline,
       The 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 the 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 heals every scar inside
       Redemption is a secret we beg for
       It was always you, someone lost, misguided by love
       Somebody, I once dreamt 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 the farewell kiss
       For you, I paint a faraway horizon of bliss, my friend
       Waiting -Dreaming -Escaping --- In another lifetime

Vladislav Raven February 15, 2016 at 10:25 AM Hi Linda, another excellent collaboration with Carl. An ocean of words that take us into a dream. The words take us on a journey and both yourself and Carl are on the same journey, singing in harmony, your words painting the canvas of the mind. It is so refreshing to see two totally different styles together and working. This is such a peaceful piece Linda. The great waters of life ever make me feel piece. A seven and into my faves, this collaboration from Carl and yourself....Vlad.

Duke Beaufort October 6, 2015 at 4:55 PM There is no question that we all need to be alone sometimes. There is a lot of good that comes from peaceful meditation when we must deal with this crazy world of ours. We hope some good comes from it.

Joan Donnelly Ellis September 29, 2015 at 10:46 AM Beautiful poem.
