Once upon a false-night sky


from the ABC set Me, you & my world

On a night like tonight, in this lonely city web
I-i want to ri-ide awey, into my own worlds sky,
where the sun is rising and the lights come on,
as I fly over hill I need to breath sing & sigh.

I wanto forget what made me cry
got no tears left, eyes are dry
yet one gift to myself is a lie
& I dont expect you to know why

So make your unicorn fly and laugh out loud at the day roll by, as long as you can fool yourself

I wanto feel free again, like last time
& in my head when I close my eyes,
I see my orange and green-clouded skies.
Know it not real, don't want to realize.

Like the slight melancholy feel to this, and also the 'lonely city web'. Nice. :)

Hi Kahdai,
It's good to escape reality at times, helps keep you
sane, if you know what I mean.
Enjoyed this poem.
Jenny.

' one gift to myself is a lie' I like these words. There is an air of illussion and desillussion at the world of today- 'this lonely city web. . '- yes very melancholy. a nice one- needs a bit of proof reading- spelling etc- keep on truckin' Kahdai
cheers
