Poems For Them.

Escape

Years and years have gone by, trapped by the cold, stern grip of sorrow. Sorrow for the fact that my young, loving heart might never experience the love it desperately desires. Sorrow for the times mal-spent. Sorrow for the times taken for granted, like every breath we take in. Sorrow for a broken soul, torn down by the destructive ambush of sweet lies, fake promises, and empty wishes. As a young soul, taught to love one another and thrive to survive. But its funny how we, all different, seem to know how to hurt exactly the same. Those who we once trusted, proudly mislead our minds with the mischievous masks of envy. And there was i, stranded, longing for a chance. A chance to be free, spread my wings, and fly. Fly from the land of cruel, dry lies. Fly from the devistating heart breaks. Fly. Never look back. And escape.

But there comes a time in every man's life where their path, their desire, their goal is brought to a hault. And makes an abrupt U-turn. What we once thought was certain. Is now covered up with regret and curiosity. There comes a time in every man's life where in their flight of freedom, they meet their co-pilot. This moment in our lives occurs in the most unexpected manner. Where one would even question the reason why he is in his spot. This moment is an overflow of joy, passion, lust, romance, and serendipity. A moment of chance. A moment written in our storybooks of life, long before we even came to be. 

Now my children, when one meets their partner in flight. It is as if the skies have cleared, those fragile and shattered pieces of your heart are instantly put back in place. When one meets the one, it is a rush of nerves shivering through the body. Then anxiety kicks in. But, courage takes the hand, courage to approach the one. My children, when your eyes meet for the first time, it is 2 souls who were deperately searching for eachother finally reunite, the moment your eyes meet, chills run through your body and love sparks in your soul. Your heart begins to warm and glow within you. When your eyes first meet, it is a perfect picture where this mess of life just pauses, as if to let these two souls say "finally". And when you meet the one, you will sigh, not a regretful sigh, but a sigh of exhaustion, exhaustion of desperately searching for that soul. Its an instant click. An instant spark. A flame ignites. And this flame is what we call love. 

This flame is a flame that can never be put out. An ever growing flame. That with time blossoms into a beautiful, bright, warm fire. The same fire that will ignite your desire to fly. Fly beside them. And never look back. It is the fire that will lead you to the promised land. The fire that will push you to chase your dreams. The fire that will glow never ending in your heart. The fire that will lead you to your escape.

When this flame sparked within me. It grew ever so quickly ... And led me to her ... My happiness ... My pride ... My freedom ... My escape ...
