An angel without wings
A life without understanding
Crowns without kings
People still withstanding
The pain without gain
The love without intimacy
You and I are just like Cain
Cold heartless and icy
This life that we live
Is meant to be shared
So that we may one day thrive
And be prepared
These angels without wings
Are the people you and I see
Each and every will bring
One single key
To unlock the heart
Of one special other
For this is the start
Of childhood sisters and brothers
For understanding is part of life
Without it we cannot live
Some may choose the way of the knife
Others may try to strive and strive
Kings without crowns
Are just like powerless humans
We all have our ups and downs
Though some may have cushions
Intimacy without love
Is scorn and hated
Despised from above
Since it was falsely created
Angels that cannot fly
Was sent from Him above
To tell us to try
So one day we may fly like a dove
Worriless and free
To deliver His message
Maybe just to three
But at least we've shown our courage
To not take the knife
We must stand side by side
Through all this pain and strife
It's about time you decide
Will you stand here next to me
Or hide behind another
Sometimes I may agree
That standing next to someone is a bother
But God gave me the gift
To stand for those who can't stand for themselves
He gave me the strength to lift
Both me and yourself
To fly like a dove
Is to live without fear
It's something we'd all love
But there are times with tears
And that's when the pain starts again
That's when the fear begins to arise
It starts to feel like we're walking in rain
Like it's far away...our goal our prize
Just like how Cain killed his own
Marked as the first sinner
For he was well known
Though just a beginner
We all have a Cain
Deep within our hearts
That's how we bring sorrow and pain
To each other from the very start
Though it may not be the same action
A sin is a sin nonetheless
It brings us all distraction
And tangles up our success
The only way to truly live
Is to use that one special gift
Maybe it's to forgive
Maybe you just need to drift
There are so many gifts to unwrap
So many that's still hiding
Some found in just a snap
While others leave you deciding
Angels that won't fly
Is giving us a try
So that we can sore high
Along with them in the sky
[Verse one:]
We’ve all heard of those
Fairy tale ‘Once upon a time’ stories
Where the perfect princess is saved
By her perfect prince charming
Her knight in shining armor
And how they’ve always lived happily ever after
Then there’s times when we have
Wished so deeply that we were them
We wish that our lives would start
With a ‘Once upon a time...’
[Chorus:]
(But) we often forget that perfection
Is far from this earthly place
That opposites attract
So we fill the lost gap in each other
Cause with perfection
We don’t need anyone but ourselves
I know my weakness
And it’s in you that I find my strength
[Verse two:]
We all have problems
So very often they may go unsolved
And many questions left unanswered
But that’s how we live life
Living one day at a time
Yet we continue to hope for an answer to all
Wishing for perfection
Hoping for all life’s mysteries
To solve itself in our time
As we live in happiness
[Verse three:]
We look at ourselves
And notice flaws beyond any repair
Constantly wanting to change the unseen
Cause we want to live a life
In pure eternal bliss
A life far beyond the sight of any human eye
So flawless and so free
This world that only lives in our
Lifeless imagination
Beginning with ‘Once upon...’
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
You’re the courage that I lack
You’re the light in my darkness
You’re the one that’s been holding my hand
When I wanted a fairy tale come true
You’re the one that’s reminded me
Why this life is more than just worthwhile
We like you to only have one thread of poetry in this subforum, so I went ahead and merged your two threads together. From now on, just add to this thread instead of making a new one for each poem. :D Thanks!
