Let Me Fly Away

Let me fly away ….

Let me fly away …
Open up the door now; let me fly away.
I will be in pain more if you let me stay.
You promised me flowers, nightingale delight,
I cannot face darkness; darkness is the night.
My cup is so empty; pour me some more wine,
I cannot live this life; death will be so fine.
In the house of shadows, I can see the sky, 
I can see the mountains; I do not know why.
Let me fly away now, I can see the road,
I can see my home there joyously it showed.
I am so so lonely; shadows are my friends,
Stop watching; tell me when this journey ends.
I do have the wings now purple, white, and blue,
I know where you are now; I will follow you.
I will fly away now until morning bright,
I want to be someplace that is never night.
Take me with you “Haloo” pour me some more wine,
I want to be all you if the choice is mine.

8/7/17  Haloo


This is another painting of mine, called Let Me Fly Away. It is acrylic on canvas.

Thanks for sharing Pashang. Love is a disease that you cannot catch without being exposed.

Love the painting. It just invokes insightful expression. The tenderness so delicate that lives inside. Awaiting the light to escape beyond the darkness. A little help from the elixir. The magic word to keep and transfix her. You've expressed both venues well. :) How do you like that for a word huh? :) well :)
