Breath in deep
And take flight.
Floating on a beautiful journey.
Far beyond time,
Anywhere in space,
And high above the clouds.
No heavy loads upon shoulders.
No heavy thoughts on the mind.
Just the open sky
With clouds that dance
To the rhythm of the waves.
Breath out light
And prepare for night’s shade.
A time to renew the heart and soul,
For another trip beyond the clouds.
Breathe in deep again,
To take flight.
To float amongst the stars
Upon nightfall’s beautiful appearance
Is a feeling like no other.
Night’s shade can mask the day’s troubles
And transform darkness to light.
With head held high And prominent strut,
There’s a beating heart in sync with night’s rhythm.
Every note has the heart and mind in awe.
Every beat speaks of greatness and resiliency.
Sweet melodies written across the sky telling stories left untold.
Night’s shade has awakened the senses
Allowing the body to rise amongst higher vibrations.
Deep in the still,
And into the night.
Just me and Heaven’s eyes
Become one upon first sight.
I look to you for peace,
As you shine your light.
Amazed at your pure beauty,
Such a mass entity of delight.
I walk with thee in the night.
As I climb the righteous stairway.
Deep breath in
As I absorb what you say.
Deep in the still,
As you whisper in my ear.
Gentle breeze of a kiss.
What is it you see upon my face?
A tear?
A tear of joy falls upon my cheek,
That makes me drop to my knees
To bless this Earth.
Such a beautiful sight to be seen.
Deep in the still,
And into the night.
Just me and Heaven’s eyes
Become one upon first sight.
I’m kissing you goodbye again.
I’m saying farewell to heartache.
Should have never came back to you again.
So I leave ‘cause my happiness is at stake.
Never really knew you could be so cold.
Blind sided, I let you cut me so deep.
Let your sunshine and ocean nights grab hold,
And in your strong arms I’d be rocked to sleep.
What a twisted web you spun around me,
Where your light blinded me like night stars.
Wandering through darkness and could not see.
Never really knowing just what we are.
And what we are is a love in the past.
A love that has long fizzled out with time.
A love that I realized would not last.
With hope filled eyes, wanted it to be mine.
So I came back to you with hope in heart.
You treated me like your bitch in waiting,
Like I’d always be around; you were smart.
Los Angeles, you proved you are failing.
Never will I let you hurt me again.
Never again will you make my eyes cry.
Never will change my life for you again.
No, there’s no need for us to ever try.
I’m kissing you goodbye again.
I’m saying farewell to heartache.
Sometimes we have to say a painful goodbye to someone or something, whether it be abusive family members, “friends”, or even a way of life. This poem isn’t about a person, as you’ve noticed with my other “love poems” that I’ve posted on my site. Here, I’m saying goodbye to an old life, to make way for one that’s new. For it to be nicknamed “The City of Angels,” Los Angeles has caused me nothing but the blues. Moving on and doing the right thing feels so good.
