Your spirit, so refreshing
defying the laws of science and reason
you managed to love with all your being; flesh, heart, and soul

athough you have always been starved of such a love, it came to you naturally enveloping the kind of passion that crosses every boundary known to man
the kind of love that can move mountains
the kind of possession that can drive one mad

you lived for yourself
an individual
in this unforgiving world
brooding with conformists and nonconformists

You were free
like the raptor you so gracefully nurtured
to love with all of yourself
without the walls and layers that people so frequently put up

You went to battle without a shield
bravely and on your lonesome
with a battle stance, graceful and swift
you danced around your opponent
emitting an intense glare
with eyes that sparkled with love, hope, and justice

The one person you thought loved you
left you for societal acceptance
every time you reached with arms outstretched
the cold shoulder you were given
repetitively denied a bosom to rest your head

You took your life by the reigns
when deciding to leave this wicked place
this world that has denied you of the one thing you loved
was left with your flesh that windy afternoon

your spirit flew away into the heavens
soaring freely side by side with the raptor
