TO LIVE UP TO YOU

How I have standed beneath your boughs
staring up at your eminance,
wanting a place amongst your arms
and hoping to be in your providence,
the dreams that lie
and the hopes that win
are those that seperate
from that which isn't
Copyright ©2005 Ashi Shadow 8/30/05 "that from that which isn't..." the that which isn't is the dreams that don't come true, and the hopes that win are those that are.
Commodus: I searched the faces of the gods for ways to please you, to make you proud. One kind word, one full hug while you pressed me to your chest and held me tight, would've been like the sun on my heart for a thousand years. What is in me that you hate so much? 
Marcus Aurelius: Shh, Commodus. 
Commodus: All I've ever wanted was to live up to you.

2nd half ended up as different from the first. Two different poems.
