In her eyes there waits a fire,
Fueled in part by the burned.
In her mind a war rages,
Shaking the bars,
Of infinite cages.
Her beauty becomes stained,
But in her eyes alone,
As she struggles with battles,
Trying to recapture the way home.
We stand in awe,
Witnessing the clashing of chaos,
Her hair fans the flames,
Her heart holds the loss.
If only we could reach her,
Hold her in comfort.
If only we could soothe her grievance,
And give her support.
Our hearts break for her in unison,
But the struggle is her own,
Maybe one day when the war is over,
She will find her way home.

er…..thief….you didn’t need to you know. If chaos is what it takes, self-destruction is mutual then the war will never be over. But I’ll still smile and wave from a million miles away. I know it might not seem like I do but….thank you. If any of my words can reach anybody, or hold any meaning at all.
This poem thief has showed me a bit more about myself then I realized. It always says that: “from an outsider’s eyes, perfection is always minute, to the brunt of the chaos, yet in chaos we find beauty.” I think you see that we can see a “Jousting Juko” in everyone desperate in finding their way home keeping their eye-sight straight on target for who they are living for. =)
