Night Lights by ~sakura-shino:iconsakura-shino:



"The bombs shall come," he plainly said,
And I envisioned deep blood red.
Fires light horizon's face:
Warm life has met a hot embrace.
From this small car, so safely bound,
I open up, and look around.
He is older; wiser, too.
I don't know what I'll do.

I want to fly and make believe
This happy youth will always breathe.
I clutch my bouquet to my heart,
And beg the Earth not to empart
Her will into our human hands.
We kill despite the reprimands.
I am scared; I love to live!
But I am just a kid.

I watch the night lights rolling past,
Silently fearing the things yet to pass.
Searching for arms to keep me secure;
The gentlest pair I can hope to procure.
He sees the bombs coming. I gasp and I gape
At the lingering fear that I cannot escape.
I want peace for mother Earth.
What can my tears be worth?

Sigh. The world is a scary place, no?
I made the mistake of mentioning this earlier. tThe reply I recieved was "it will get sscarier soon."
Those words chilled me absolutely. No idea why. I've heard them times before, but this time they panicked me.
at least something good came out of it. I wrote a nice classical Poe-esque poem. Albeit shorter.

The bouquet was from an Australia-New Zealand-Japan party thing. The "he" in question is an Australian exchange student, Alex, who is one of those wonder people, and we'll let that suffice. An ex-army captain/pilot at the age of 17 almost 18, point being his opinion on the whole Iranian war-thing would be of course better than mine. Which is basically "War=bad, love=good. Yaaay! flowers!". I've no mind for politics.
