(copy the text, and center it in word) <br /> <br />I almost screwed all I have done a few days back; I was preparing to proceed to my fade to black. <br />As an autistic artist, especially, has no place; but then I saw the tears falling down her face. <br />How her saddened eyes would never again find any beauty in this relentless bind. <br />When our two souls were intertwined my vesseled vessel's eyes were blind. <br />And as I will surely be blind again, I refuse to sign away with a pen <br />Loaded of that crimson ink, in that I know where we have been, <br /> <br />But not if there is some place where we are going. <br /> <br />Your soul was the sole star in my urban night, <br />As the North Star, freedom is in your light, <br />Has my accursed blessing burdened you? <br />Bonds beyond time pulled me through <br />All the dark days I could barely see, <br />The reasons I held in to yet be free <br />From this restlessly tiring place; <br />Suns are unreplaced in space. <br />Their shining shown in vain <br />I resolve now to never do <br />Something so sad to you. <br />As now when feeling rain <br />I'll shiver rather than stain, <br />Rivers of sorrow on your face <br />When recalling my lost embrace. <br />Ah! Now I will strive to always be, <br />A brave sailor above the unseen sea, <br />Until I have done all that there is to do, <br />A man sails on but a boy will return to you. <br />For I arose from the depths within your womb, <br />And perhaps I might return there alongside doom. <br /> <br />Ah, you are the light making darkness worth knowing. <br /> <br />To endure pain until natural night, is to, perhaps, regain your light: <br />All must, toward the skies, take flight, but now I resolve to always fight; <br />(Because you always fought for me) to answer this, when it comes, will I be <br />Gazing into, or beyond your pupil, to see, at last, if your iris could last in eternity. <br />So I remain prepared for what may come beyond; since I know we share an eternal bond; <br />Oblivion would do as I ride away in the wind, until again with you I reside, one day, in the end.\n\nM.H.
