A Ballad - The Woman From Future


You are my sky
Vast in its blue expanse, splendor and beauty
Like a bird I shall fly freely
Into you
Feeling you in every whiff of air I breathe in
As I flap my wings
Moving into dense clouds and out

I don't have to die
To go to heaven or hell
Paradise, is living with an ever present sense of assurance
That keeps whispering into my ears
That your heart is cradled in happiness
And my worst nightmare, your tears
They skin me alive

Ask whatever you want of me
I shall give you
My life and my death are in the power of your slender hands
The alcohol and the tobacco stains that have polluted my blood
Leave my head in an unending spin
So I reach out for the pencils
To draw a sketch with my eyes closed

When sobriety hit me in the morning 
My eyes fell on the sketchbook
I saw you there
Your blazing eyes gazed straight at me
And your smile intoxicated me again 
But what captured my heart more was your soul
I could see it popping out from the paper

And it spoke to me
Told me of all your joyous moments and the nicest memories
Also of the past that has incarcerated you
I fell in love with your soul
For its beauty lies safely hidden inside its brokenness
I got up from my bed
My heart singing songs of delight

Only to be hit by a tempest shortly and dropping dead
Bring me back to life if you could
Or leave me alone
So I rot at the mercy of the maggots
That feed on my decaying flesh
Which once housed my soul
That never could let love disappear and die.
