Fly

by Jon Hunt   Apr 14, 2006


I don't know the truths, but neither the lies,
But none of them are able to heal the pain inside.
And wish that now for once I could cry,
And wish for once, just now I could fly.

To go somewhere, away from here,
Further away, avoid the fear,
With you someone, beneath the sun,
You that someone, you're the one.

And is this it, is this all,
I watch you walk, I trip and fall.
I've fallen deep, I need you hand,
To lift me out, back onto land.
I've fallen far, too fast I know,
But I cant fight this, this love, this flow.
For I feel it strong, more than before,
As I'm dragged down; against the walls I claw,
To climb back up towards the sky,
And dream I could just lift off and fly.

And fly somewhere, away from here,
Further away, but with you my dear,
With you, only you, beneath the sun,
You are that one, now this has begun.

But this is dream, and I cant fly,
The best I do is to face the sky.
And dream and wish that I were free,
Alone like the birds upon the tree.
For they have no worries, only day by day,
They live their life, their very own way.

But you still plague me, down on earth,
And I can't escape, locked here since birth.
But I must face my problems, face to face,
Fight them and struggle with perfect grace.

And then maybe I will be free, maybe too with you,
For that I wish for, and wish it were true,
That you were mine, and I yours too,
And wish; these feelings, I wish you knew.

    I found this so wonderful because I know few male poet who write as well as you....this bit stood out:

    "And wish that now for once I could cry,
    And wish for once, just now I could fly."

    I must agree with elijah, you are so charming and like many of your great works this could easily be a song...

    Wow Jon, this poem is absolutely amazing. It really takes my breath away.

    "You are the one, now this has begun."

    That line seems to have such a brilliant impact on me. Not sure why, it's almost tear-jerking. Well done!!!
