I'll pull the trigger
On my motives
Before they  
Kill my means

I'll burn intentions
at the stake
Before they beat me
To my dreams

Could a pauper
Warm a graceful queen?
Can the moonlight
By the sun be seen?

Could this thorn
Give a flower to a rose?
Will kind words descend
To make sure he knows?

Could the sky
See earth as a goal?
Could a diamond
Ever love a coal?
A short poem I wrote a few days ago, mostly about having a goal, but defeating yourself in trying to achieve it. Then it kind of reverts to a reflection on the ends themselves. Not the most organized work I've done, but then again, its more of a penned stream of consciousness anyway.

^.^ This is lovely. I love the words and everything, but I think the flow's just a little rigid. ^.^;; Maybe that's just me. :heart: It's good ^.^
