miles from where you are

Description

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from 'A' to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

"Set The Fire To The Third Bar"

This is my first critique, so don't expect it to be great. Anyway, I thought this was a very magnificent pic, and it conveyed so much emotion into my heart, I felt like I was Cynder or Spyro yearning for the other. It's nice and original and the technique was very nice. The Image is a little flaky at certain areas like the toes on Cynder's back foot, but the image is more focused on the emotion and I like that. You should keep it up! I would consider a similar pic, but with Spyro in it instead. For someone of your talent, the sky's the limit!
