Seraphim in combat boots,
defiant eyes
rimmed in kohl {for special effect}.
She kicks a chasm
in the sky
to escape her chains.
Leaping for the precipice,
her stunted heart aches,
bleeds pain
and begins to beat
a g a i n .
A shocking anguish
to signify revision
\\and rebirth\\
Bones rattle in protest.
To feel once more,
means all is not lost and
hope is restored
for a future day.
Perhaps a fallen a.n.g.e.l
can love once she no longer
needs her
wings [to fly].

Very intereting...your style is unique and abstract.... such beauty to be had in this...

Kicks a chasm in the sky - is that a RHCP reference or am I reading too much into it? Either way, let me add my praise to that first line. I wish I'd thought of it myself.

Yes, as a matter of fact, it is a RHCP reference. Nice - you're the only one to have picked up on it.

Angel flying to close to the ground.
Lonely freedom....
It's ironic.
Really dig this one...
Its hard to fly without wings,
without comin down....hard.
But this piece dismisses the negative and replaces it with hope.
Much harder then it sounds.
But you come to life ...
suddenly its half full instead of half empty.
Excellent job gypsy,
I feel uplifted by this piece of fine writing.
KEEP ON PUSHIN
STRAIGHT AHEAD,
