You Can't Take the Sky from Me*

You can take my wealth
take my health
lead me to brink of death

Steal from me my sight
decimate my might
hurl my love into blackest night

Take these,
but you can't take the sky from me

Ex Tempore LXXII
M.M. — 12-Jan-2014

    Hey man. Like it (thought I recognised the Serenity except). Not sure if it'll be your thing but I've posted a link to some of my poetry below:

      Thanks, dude! And thanks for sharing your stuff. I quite like your use of philosophy as the theme for your poems. It's actually a "form" I play around with from time to time. Keep up the good work!
