Fly

by Antithesis   Nov 7, 2007


She a human
Dreamed to fly
She entered without wings
Limbs were all
That she possessed
Regarded as abhorrent weight
It stapled her down
Beneath her hopes
Suffocation those appendage bring
She denied herself
Shut out her own disposition
And refused to surrender to fate

She knew not her limits
Acknowledged not the borders
Of chimera and laws of science
Believed she did
Too much in herself
And way over judged her capability
Forgotten did she
In her mortality lies
And so as her insanity blinds
Acceptance of herself
As body and blood
Was completely beyond her capacity

She was led
By negated ambitions
To soar amongst cotton candy
Hence she sculpted
Wax wings of abnegation
Melted and attached onto skin
She treaded among stars
Into the vacuum
Towards Venus and Mercury
Such joy upon her
It carved into her eyes
Celestial incense of serene

She flew as time did
And distance too
She advanced mile by mile
It wasn't long
Before destination reached
Gazing at the dominating ball
Fancied she did
To inch a little nearer
The lead of the solar system file
Fear was overpowered
She sped into waltzing arms
As the fiery leaping whips call

She sank into the waters
Of the timeless void
When those wax wings liquefied
Dripped it did
Drops of white mass
It tore at her blank tarpaulin
Wax memories swirled
Around her it did
A typhoon consumed her might
It stripped her
Down and bared
Of the illusions for which she sinned

She remains relentless
Yet again she attempted
To rise above her earthly genes
Her will remained
As strong as diamond
In the aid of a helium tank
Her hands sought
The linking tube
Down the depths of her larynx
Pumped too hard
Bloated her cells
Too much helium she did grant

She expanded
And inflated like a balloon
Her jument exploded into pieces
Flesh were scattered
Upon the soaked soil
A reminder of impossibility
Lived not she
To learn her lesson
Earth does not prevail for freedom to be
Blindly groped
For what belonged to another
May the creature for ignorance weep
