Free Verse-My Blue Heaven

title: My Blue Heaven
Author: unknown
type: free verse
Black snow coats this frozen hell
As it falls quietly from crimson skies,
Stained blood red from every lost dream
Like a grand cemetery where they go to die.
The clouds roll in slowly like a hearse
Whenever I stare at the freedom called stars,
Covering the pink moon like a funeral on Main Street
And just as depressing as those colorless parades are
.
A place once called home has become my prison sentence,
Condemned to life in this world of red, pink & black.
I know somewhere beyond these bars that hold me
Is a paradise in which I will never come back.
I dream of blue skies when I make land
Ending my jailbreak upon golden sands,
Of a white crystal parade accompanied by a band
Decked down in uniforms with instruments at hand.
To the masses they’ll play my anthem,
The story of my fight for freedom,
My escape from the tyranny and dark asylum
Where my dreams were torn from me.
On marble floats I’ll ride
Towards a new day leaving everything behind,
I’ll have my mansion with the stars in the sky
And a deep breath on the beaches of tranquility.
One day I’ll have my blue heaven beyond the night.
