Fight and Flight

Its a different life on a different day
Its the hot sticky month of May
Such a romantic past
A novel, right from the start
Nothing holds me captive
A free bird to all who can see
I can leap and glide
With the evening tide
Such a glorious moon
Shines and marks the coming of June

I forbid the wind to blow me away without my will
I do what I can, I do with skill
Punish the flaws, no dead roots in the way
The night is calm
As is my skin
My cool breath adds to the atmosphere
Helps its form
I am vegetated in awesomeness
I have tasted her
The present. She's glorious. Ever forming
In this formation I live.

Shes like a pregnant woman
I implanted her
Now i take care of her
So I leave a promising future
My will is to fly
I will and you will watch me
My will is to fly, this time without baggage
My will is to fly, this time lighter
My will is to fly, this time to soar

My will is to fly
Who says you need wings.

Previously on smallville........

Ever since I understood the concept of superhero....I have loved the greatest of em all 'SUPERMAN'.
So it was natural that 10 years ago when I was merely 14 and piss in my pants excited about everything ...that I would be excited about a show that was devoted to telling the story of the transition of a farm boy into the worlds greatest fictional superhero. I remember eagerly watching the very first episode and going 'WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW' in my head. I was thankful for the invention of television. I know I know I sound like one of those 'super' geeks at comic conventions (which reminds me that there are no comic conventions here) god damn it. Any way the point is yes I started watching the show cause it was about SUPERMAN. But you know what the funny thing is. They don't even utter the word superman until the very last episode of the series. The whole time every fan I've known waited for ten seasons to watch clark kent to finally become superman, but along the way you know what we realised ....we realised that the cliche line 'Its the journey and not the destination' makes a lotta sense. I saw clark grow up on tv while I grew up as well. Smallville comforted me in ways inexplicable. Because every one knows Superman always comes thru. Always makes the right choices. Always morally correct. But but but but...we saw in this show ..how he completely fucked up on so many occasions along his journey in becoming the man of steel

He was selfish, arrogant, had his heart broken, he even showed off, was too aggressive sometimes, lost control, got jealous. All human emotions. All the things we've felt. And this made every fan feel closer and gave us the ability to understand that all of us are capable of all the wrongs. But in the end its our choices and our will to grow and to realize the goodness we are capable off is what sets us apart... And of course the actual action of doing good. For ourselves and for others.

Thank You smallville.

Placid skies and romantic spies

So I told her, I said.. I'm the best out there.
The best you got.

Then someone said...'did u ever consider that may be it isn't the best she wants'

My skin is burnt
I've come back with a body full of lasting memory
A memory which an outsider , if he got a preview would seem like a perfect story.
I wonder, back when I saw it all falling into place if I ever wondered that someday I may cease to want it formed.
I did want it, no doubt. I loved the feeling, theres evidence.
But I wonder , out loud... may be it never formed cause it would be wrong.
It would be wrong that it happen, even if at a point in time...or make that a long period..it seemed perfect.

But like she said man... may be ideal isn't what its cracked up to be.
But I needed this.
It came. To whack me hard.
It came to shake me up.

The skies they conspired with the spies to make a setting perfect for the play
They followed us. They prompted us. They meddled cause may be a dosage of meddling was required.

And today they ask me....
boy , what now?... are you finally through?
Is it over? Is it done?

As I sighed, I said follow me and find out
