Inches From Freedom

Vines trailing into a tree
Blossoming red death
By the shattered remains
Of an arrows breath
Into the darkness
Called the king
From somewhere in the sleepy tower
A meteor has struck guilty thoughts in my eyes
And I have drenched myself in powder
The sun it has set
With matches and a bet upon the land
Of nothing but questions and cries
North, South, East,
West?
Could you guess the rest?
A lock picked by fire
A sword blazing through my chest
Death
The ocean drank me down
With billions of picked flowers for the dawn
A ring or two in the opening of light
What went wrong?

Author notes

I'm giving myself a month. That's all. After that I don't know what I'm going to do. I wrote this after a painting I did, it wasn't intentionally I just started talking to it. Once I got past the first lines I liked it too much to leave it there. SOO this poem was born. Short, not like me, but this is what it would be like if I was rambling poetically to myself.... Not that I do that all the time???
Hahaha.

      Ah, thats horshradish.

      Yeah I'm not sure whats wrong with us. I keep telling her we need to write an awesomely hilarious book. BUTT NOOOoOo OUR managers would never approve. Just kidding, I just thought of that idea yesterday AND I don't have any managers that I know of. Although, you never know. I do feel as if I'm being watched lately. Like that Micheal Jackson song. Of course, thats kind of a creepy thing to say these days. Considering his history...ererm.erm. Awkward. Snail.
      Oh take your time, forget about it. Never again! I knew a guy that pooped his pants in 8th grade.
      "Anticipation.
      Oh there it is." (Just a funny thing when talking about that kind of natrual buisness anyway...)
