Array ( [sid] => 34619 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Unassuming [time] => 2004-02-11 14:27:51 [hometext] => Something about what's happened to day makes me really want to say... [bodytext] => His eyes filled with anticipation
For the moment he'd dreamt of for years
His gaze locked upon the clock
For the time when no one would hear

A child of ten years, his birthday edged near
And a wish he gave all to fulfill
A soul of no fears--his innocence clear
And a night that would never sit still.

His precious prize before his eyes
--Two eyes so painfully joyed--
It's massive size adored in his sighs
The liquid to fill up the void

The clock rang 12 times, ticking and swinging
So peaceful and fine; thinking and dreaming
Reflective apparel and magnificent glint
The child's eyes alit as abrasion of flint

He was anxious to explore
To see the unseen
And to do that it took more

--All things he'd never been and everything before--

The lights were all silent, the murmurs all dark
He 'scaped to the shadows to fulfill his desire
His young eyes were vibrant, his cheeky remarks
He fled to the waters and the quaint little pyre

The glint in the dark came aglow in the moon
The smile wouldn't part with his new benison
The eager proposal of a soul in full bloom
And then came the river of crimson

Amazing it was, amazingly strong
His eyes couldn't leave its mild glow
Intriguing it stayed,
Intriguingly long
His heart seemed to throb with its flow

He splashed it about in exuberant glee
But that soon seemed an action too great
The time called for silence and divine memory
As he entered realms none could relate

Then slowly the light in the eyes fell asleep
As fatigue took life out of pain
A hand in the pool of the liquid arm deep
And nothing could be the same

"Good night, mom, I'll be right back
I wanted to see heaven
I'm sure that they'll all understand



...be back home before seven."




---Love, Jonathan D. Jou
