Beauty in gold

A beauty in gold

Leaned on the door

And captured my heart

As I walked on through

Did not look at me

Just past my eyes

To see in my soul

Those wide open skies

Censored

He censored himself

From the world

And he suffered for it

Dream life

He'd dreamed of a life

That didn't happen

And got lost in the why's 

He didn't get there

And missed where he was

And who he was with

johnfklee

His offer

He offered her nothing

Nothing at all

But

His passion

His desire

And 

His best

faster

Because for him

It was not about speed

It was not about going faster 

It was about how far he could go

How long he could go

Until he had nothing left inside of himself

And he knew that he was exactly where he needed to be

Do not let the friction

Of another's life

Rub you

The wrong way

Slept

He slept

Violent

Tossed in his dreams

Images of

Past

Present

Future

Of 

Never

Struggles against the unknown 

They battered him

He fought 

Nobly

Fallen

Not beaten 

He rose

Slowly

And when he awoke

He went about his day

All the while

Anticipating 

And 

Preparing for sleep

And the coming battles
