Summary:
snippets of
something
stays
(a series of poems written by someone lost)
part one: three and one
she finds
chains
wrapped around
her
her wings burn
as she throws
away smiles
she burns treasures
and rusted jewels
she soars
higher
but she falls
it feels new
different
but she longs
for jewels
and treasures
she wants
freedom
in her veins
she wants
so much
her wings
and her freedom
she dreams
part two: fairy blood
Fairy blood, freedom, and falling
Fairy blood
runs
through her veins
treasure
in her hair
jewels
in her eyes
and freedom
in her smile
her wings
carry her
across the garden
like a moth
she follows the
flame
she meets the sun
she finds
chains
wrapped around
her
her wings burn
as she throws
away smiles
she burns treasures
and rusted jewels
she soars
higher
but she falls
part 3: drifting
remembering, drifting, and falling asleep
memories fly away
but feelings stay
and she drifts
as if she can fly
she can't
she follows
a path
laid out
by kings
she wanders
busy streets
in concrete jungles
riding in
metal machines
and the world
at her fingertips
it feels new
different
but she longs
for jewels
and treasures
she wants
freedom
in her veins
so she sleeps
part 4: dances
memories, dancing, and wanting
her mind
a mess
snippets of
something
stays
memories of
falling
sleeping gone
jewels in her eyes
treasure in her hair
she dances
a fairy
with smiles
dancing
with her
a flame burns
and the sun dances with her
his crimson
her garden
ruby eyes
golden heart
a lovely princess
she wants
so much
her wings
and her freedom
she dreams
of soaring.
