Poetry Excerpts
The Fallows is a living love story bringing to life the Greek Gods of the past. Aaron Ross searched though the Greek myths weaving together an unforgettable tale. Inspiring our love lives and giving us the passion to study late into the night; mapping out our dreams; calling us all around the world to unite our hands against global warming, disease, famine, poverty, war, terrorism, and human trafficking.
“Even when our hairs are lost and gray,
Do not questions still hang in our mind,
What if I would have done it this way,
What if I would have been more kind?
What if I never burned the Salem witch?
What if I never dropped that atomic bomb?
What if I never flew those planes into the towers?
What if we never sung battle’s song?
What if I never made a sword?
What if I never stole from my brother?
What if we would have saved a friend
And never lied to each other?
What if we stopped fighting each other,
And saw life’s real enemies for the first time?
What if we stopped fighting our brothers,
And joined hand in hand to fight true crime?
Crimes committed against us all,
Crimes that the whole world can see,
Crimes that cause hundreds and thousands to fall,
Crimes that we feel from the gods are meant to be.
Criminals that creep upon us all in the night,
Like thieves who sneak under our skin,
Crimes that blind us and steal away our sight,
Lost lives that could have forever been.
Think of the virus and how it flies,
With wings so vicious throughout the air,
Like a helicopter long, round, and high,
It drops its bombs upon us without care.
Do we get angry, do we get mad?
Do we bounce from hate to rage?
Do we pull out our true swords like Galahad,
Fighting our true enemies that have been made?
Do we place our tanks upon the ground,
And together pour our soldiers in,
Conquering the virus that swarms around,
True lives together to save and win.
How about that ancient cancer at its core,
Caring not whether we are rich or poor,
Caring not whether we’re black or brown,
Or white as any bone from town, to town, to town.
Crueler than any suicide bombers,
With its only thoughts to destroy and kill,
It falls upon us all in common,
Not caring at all about a dollar bill.
Like a psychopath without a reason,
Viruses fall upon us all and our children in pride,
As we fight against each other in season,
Giving our true enemies a free ride.
But if we would mount with wings together,
Upon our minds with knowledge as cherished gold,
To discover sacred wisdom as the birds flock with feathers,
As we fight against each other so bold.
Then together we could leap for joy,
In victory’s true love battle,
For our young earthen girls and boys,
Riding upon victory’s true love’s saddle.
Free as the clouds float upon the sky,
Free as the mighty rivers and flowing streams
Free as the winter snow upon the air rides,
Free as an Indian summer breeze.
Not as separate races together bound,
But as one race shining together true,
For are we not all humans to be found
Our blood running within us so blue.
Blue as the sky above our very hands,
Blue as a newborn child’s eyes,
Blue as our earth seen from outer space’s land,
Blue as the ocean forever far and wide.
But when we fight against each other,
Our blood in rivers runs through the earth red,
Breaking the harmonies of our love and brothers,
As both sides count their living and their dead
While disease run free ravaging our streets,
And our earth’s temperatures, from greenhouse gases, rise,
While mothers, fathers, and wives together weep,
For their love’s lost from this earth that died.
Oh, how love has given a dream to me to say,
A love within me that will never go away,
A love born into an eternity, a love born in a day,
That humankind would open their eyes forever in love to stay.
That love’s sacred fires would forever stir,
Burning before the gods of heaven above,
Bearing our children together into life pure,
Raising them together in our love.
Not as those who are filled with hatred do,
Leaving their children alone in the streets,
Without a mother or without a father true,
Their souls never raised in the warmth of love’s heat.
But raised by a family, singing love’s highest note,
The greatest song within our nations to forever be sung,
We as kings and queens of the earth together in love to float,
Forever our families to grow together as one.
But how many fathers in war have perished,
By great swords and guns by another woman or man,
Each side fighting for the same things they cherish,
To protect their wives, husbands, and children in the land.
For are we not all together as kings and queens,
Do we not all know love and see right from wrong,
Then why do we perish before each other, death’s sting,
Oh, that we could find together a greater love song.
Oh, where does love’s river lie,
That feeling within us all so true,
That I may strike within us all its rock,
Releasing us all as love birds into the blue.
Like a gem born in a rough,
So beautifully unto the eyes to see,
Once brought into the light,
Echoing we as lovers forever to be
Love worth more than perils and pirate’s chests,
Love worth more than all the banks of the world,
Love worth more than all the souls at rest,
Love seen through the innocence of a boy and girl.
Love felt in the air like eternity’s stream,
Filling us with its spirit true,
Wed to the earth and heaven’s seams,
Binding us together as earthen glue.
For together bound we could lift the world,
And raise it on our shoulders,
Like great Atlas for love to build,
The strength of the nations one and the many grown bolder.
But through want of pleasure and repose,
Of products, cars, industries, and GNP,
It has changed the face of our whole globe,
And its changes now many can feel and see.
So what now for our earth will we together do,
To solve our earth’s problems with answers true,
To cleanse our earth from greenhouse gases, this unholy mess,
Born from our hands under the mighty heaven’s blue.
But through inventions born from the philosophers mind,
To stand before the test of all time,
To cleanse our earth from chemicals and grim,
To balance the atmosphere in harmony, fine.
Only through our hands bound together in love,
Can we come together more than just going green,
Together rejoicing in a new life in the lands above,
The spirit of love flowing forever in earthen streams
Together in love bound hand in hand,
Building a great temple unto the sky,
To seek and discover spaces faraway lands,
And cleanse our earth with love’s greatest cry.
Bound in love to build a filter in the land found upon stone,
Opening our minds for greater things to learn and see,
As the great explorers of the past have grown,
Mapping out outer space from black sea to black sea.
For is our earth the only one,
Is this all that there is throughout the universe,
For is there not more land outside of our earth to be won,
That our hearts and minds have yet to kiss.
For think of how far we have all come,
And think of how far we have yet to go,
Remember the American Revolution and all its fun,
The inspiration in our hearts that freedom sowed.
Freedom born from the prisons of our mind,
For the pursuit of all life’s happiness and greatest things,
A road built unto space the heavens to forever find,
From our hearts together bound in holy rings.
To sit with the gods of heaven,
Who in their magnificence roll on,
Spheres of influence rolling on distantly,
Their throngs singing forth mysterious song.
High Jupiter with its gaseous clouds,
Saturn with his mighty rings,
Venous in her beauty aloud,
Mighty Mars with his love song to sing.
Uranus so far in all his glory,
Pluto in his distance stream,
Mercury with his great story,
The Milky Way floating in teams.
Together breaking forth through the prisons of our sky,
The greatest exploration for us throughout the world,
Unto the heavens to forever fly.
New earths, cities, and planets to build.
For then we shall fly on mightily with our wings,
Before eternity to forever sing,
Not only to advance hearts and minds,
But to heal our atmosphere for all time.
For through a temple built unto high heavens,
We can place within its peak a great filter,
To cleanse our earth from greenhouse gases that rise as leaven,
And advance mankind into the great future.”
As the words from his heart came to an end,
There before him gathered great men and women,
For love he called out unto them to defend,
That unto the sky they would be bound with him.
"CALL TO PEACE"
"INSPIRING OUR EDUCATION"
“Oh, if you can think it,
Then it shall become,
Let no one ever doubt it,
Charge out into the world with your thoughts as one.
Do all of your research,
Map out all your dreams,
Late into the night as the owl preached,
Pouring your heart, mind, and soul out in streams.
For every invention born upon the land,
Frees us from the ignorance of our lives,
For they are born from God’s hands,
Screaming from our hearts to be alive?
For from within us all creation is born,
Seen in our soul the day we opened our eyes,
And within the voice of the poet is forever sworn,
Freeing us from the ignorance of the tears we cry.
Like a bride who turns to her groom,
We were all born unto the earth,
To rise in beauty and bloom,
With the knowledge of good and evil since birth.
To hold life together in our arms;
To store its treasures in our hearts and minds;
New adventures to live as new stories and charms;
Hearts and minds wed to the land for all time.
As the sun, seas, and mighty rocks,
Encompasses the soils from sand to sand,
As the eternal and sacred spinning clock,
Father Time spinning through the land.
And, oh, how the world aches within,
Waiting for its poetic inventions to bloom,
New forms from our hearts and minds to live,
Wed unto the earth forever as bride and groom.
For daydreams to grow into form, into light,
New inventions to sow further into the night,
Closing the doors of ignorance that pass,
With every piece of knowledge born to last.
Born from that sacred mystical abyss,
That ignorance of all darkened mystery,
Gain upon the earth with every wise kiss,
That we make upon our darkened history.
Pulling out of the depths of our hearts,
From the echoing chasms of our mind,
Thoughts that fly like darts.
Aha! I have found it for all time.
Something new, something great,
Something so divine in gifted hue,
Laboring within for its earthen mate,
To take us further into the future oh so true.
A heart and mind pregnant with thought,
Waiting to be born into the world,
To lay itself into matter as the Gordian knot,
For love and new life upon our earth to build.
For how far has our mind come,
How far shall our mind go,
Building upon the blocks of the great ones,
For truth, for science, for knowledge to grow.
Bound tests filled with wisdom’s poetic fame,
Philosophic scriptures of knowledge for power won,
Leading us unto fresher waters never the same,
Bound faithfully to the hearts of men as nuns.
Now is the time you great hunters of wisdom’s light,
Who for truth from within forever fight,
Riding out upon your stead in the night,
Shining your swords to gleam forever bright.
Take now your armor and your tools,
To battle earthen ignorance true,
From the depths of your soul,
Ride triumphantly into the blue.
To seek for truth to enlighten the mind,
To carry us through these stormy waters,
Echoing as heroes for all time,
Standing boldly for wisdom never to faultier.
Who is praised those great souls of the past,
Their names who echo forever to last,
Bound by spirit, truth, and courageous art,
Souls bound to earth playing symphonies as Mozart.
Taking the pains of all our lives,
And making it just a little bit better,
Under these golden blue skies,
Lives they lived paving generations of adventures.
Weaving upon the earth with loving hands,
Who labored oh so long, oh so hard,
That our lives may grow better in the land,
Giving us all a greater and better start.
Oh, such great men of high honors,
Do we not dine upon their books,
Thoughts to our hearts born to infer,
To see through their eyes’ history and how it looked.
And from their words they inspire a thought,
And that thought within begins to take wings,
Flying within from lot to lot,
Until into the earth it must scream.
Like poet declaring beauty from the mind,
Painting pictures of light in rainbows of awe,
Images within inspired for a time,
Through new eyes unto the world you saw.
And there from the dust of the earth,
Poetic hands, the seekers within the blue,
Inventions upon the earth to give birth,
Defeating the Minotaur’s labyrinth of darkened hue.
For once the earth was thought to be flat,
And we were thought we would fall off of the world,
Yet Galileo showed us the proof of that,
Facing death before the church for truth to yield.
For mankind fears what they don’t know,
But what we don’t know,
Is what we all must find,
For is that not the reason for heart and mind.
For how could Socrates perish for knowledge?
For how could Galileo face death?
Is that not why we have built our collages,
That knowledge may rise from darkness’s theft.
Stolen by the ignorance of this world,
Great darkness keeping us all bound,
Oh, that for love we would seek to build,
Knowledge’s foundations from the ground.
For my people perish for lack of knowledge,
Thus shouts the king of kings,
And now is the day of its triumph,
Forming now upon our earth in rings.
For today is the day of wisdom’s light,
Shining new before freedoms flag,
The keys of knowledge opened in our hearts to fight,
Bucking upon this mountain as freedom’s stag.
For how many have labored for this day,
The dust of the dead that rests upon our skin,
We their immortality upon the earth to stay,
Their spirit swept forever into the wind.
Where earth’s hollowed oaks whisper their names,
As the prairies sing of their songs,
Crashing upon the shores as waves,
The air breathes of their living breath so long.
And upon their great labors we have grown,
Those people who enlightened a new way,
And thus we stand upon their great deeds sown,
As pillars standing high amidst the day.
"ODE TO AMERICAN SOLDERS"
Upon this sacred mountain where you made your call,
Where Americans fought for freedom all
Upon New York we gather for lover to fall,
To make peace around the world for all.
Oh! New York, for you do we not weep!
For all our soldiers that died and sleep,
Patriots for the freedoms we keep,
Oh how we must rise, for love to seek.
Have we not made it through these stormy weathers,
Have we not come together under Earths blue sky,
Oh, that we would forever rest in love together,
Wed as lovers forever, before our families’ eyes.
Oh, that every war in the world would end,
Oh that they who fight could forever go home,
With their wives and husbands forever wed,
With love under heaven’s great and mighty dome.
Oh, that all could be with their love, the very one,
That our hearts would be forever mended,
That love we fought for so long ago and forever won,
United together nations forever befriended.
For are not the hearts of America sadend,
Oh, New York, say it’s not so,
Is it not time for peace to defend,
To bring all men and women back home.
Oh that Al Qaeda would stop their wrong,
Oh that all would see how it went down,
The towers fell before our heart, causing a sad song,
Behold the war on terror began from town to town.
Oh that the would mature and grow from this,
That wars would stop and love would kiss,
And we like children learn from innocence,
Pulling our world out of wars abyss.
Oh to seek a love brand new,
Oh to kiss the dirt and know it’s true,
That wars will end forever under the blue.
Oh New York, Oh New York, how we love you.
Oh, Verginia that you would bring your borders down,
West Verginia the heart land in which Europe found.
And where our freedom before the world as a crown,
That West would unite with the East as lovers wound.
Throughout the world in business we will abound,
And true love will pave the way,
Together in a song that sounds,
Like workers working for a brighter day.
For do we not need new jobs? Yes we do,
Look to the heavens and you’ll see it true,
There’s is so much work for us to do.
It is time for us to build into the skies so blue,
Building into the heavens the Phoenix's call,
Laboring together, together all,
Wed like the feathers that forever fall,
Unto the heavens to build like a brawl.
And as the colors of the trees change in season,
So to do the colors of our heart and minds,
And so my friends, hold tight to reason.
That peace within logic we will find.”
So she looked into the towers and saw her lovers eyes,
And knew one day in heaven they would be found.
So he looked into the towers and saw his lovers eyes,
Praying that peace from this would resound.
"WEDDING VOWS"
“Oh, that we could conceive heaven’s child,
To play upon the open these shores,
That we from life were not exiled,
To fall through death’s closing doors.
That I would’ve made it home from my quest,
And you were safe and sound,
You whom I love best,
Upon the earth’s holy ground.
Yet as I stand before you now,
Upon Tartarus’s shores, before the gods and heaven,
That you are my wife and I faithfully vow,
Forever rising in my heart seven times seven.
Do you take me to be yours,
Forever and eternal?
Will you open up the door,
To deal our love infernal?”
“Oh, my love, there has never been another
With whom I’d rather be,
For you are my friend, my lover,
Whom in the light of my heart I always see.
As our wedding days were planned in the lands above,
You know I’ll always love you,
I wish to be your wife in eternal love,
And you my husband so true.
It hurts to think we missed our wedding day,
Yet in my heart I can always dream,
And those dreams will always stay,
As mighty pillars’ eternal beams.
Yet we need not weddings to share our vows,
For our vows are vows written within,
For our love is the fallow’s plow,
Tilling the lands of our heart again and again.
My love, I shall always love you,
Take me as your begotten bride,
For in your eyes I can see our love so true,
Together our greatest pride.”
In that moment they looked into each other’s eyes,
With tears of joy and tears of pain,
A moment that cannot be defined,
Unless lovers you be and know the same.
Knowing their days were neigh.
I love you was all there could be said,
From their hearts came an eternal sigh,
A thousand times from hearts love bleed.
They crashed as waves and blew as the wind,
They shined as the sun among the stars,
They shook like thunder and poured like rain,
As lovers from Venus bound to Mars.
“My love, you are my greatest pleasure,
Forever you are my eternal treasure,
My soul for you shall forever sing,
Spirit unstrung without measure.”
“Husband, you are the truest that can be,
Faithful in love and oh so free,
Oh, how you come to me night and day,
Our souls in love how they shall forever play.”
As the last words came from their lips,
Together they heard a distant bell,
And her name was called aloud from the ship,
A day that they knew would come oh so well.
Together they rose as mourners do,
To take their last walk,
Holding hands as lovers do,
Silently they went without talk.
Only did they feel each other’s love,
Within the silent grip of their hands,
Burning as the fires crave above,
Forever upon the lands.
Tears poured from their eyes,
So much they could not say goodbye,
For words became so heavy,
That none came even if they tried.
Before the boats, they touched one last time,
Holding both of their hands like it was a crime,
Together they shut their eyes as virgins do,
And kissed each other goodbye.
Naked they came, naked they go,
Oh, how all the souls of the shores looked around,
As if they were a spectacular show,
Even great Charon was spellbound.
Quietly she got upon the ferry,
Her clothes were forever gone,
The horns blasted for boat could not terry,
Quickly the ferry moved along.
The hundred years went so fast,
Oh, how they wished they could stay,
Oh, that time would stop its task,
That forever in their loves they could play.
They watched as their love moved on,
As a giant emptiness swelled inside,
Oh, how could they from each other be gone,
Their distance to become forever so wide.
Oh, how he wished to fight,
To be with his love forever so true,
But the gods with all were to strong with all their might,
There was nothing that he could do.
Stirring from within all his strength,
From the depths rose the emotions of his soul,
As warriors cry in battle at length,
His voice yelled forth through the underworld whole.
No words were they that came out,
Only a mournful cry,
An eternal lion forever to shout,
For loves that must die.
Like a broken heart beating upon a chamber door,
His voice echoed over those immortal shores,
Rising above all of the flames,
Echoing aloud for love and all its fame.
Then there the men fell down upon the ground,
Within his heart there lay not a sound,
Until this time for the ferry came around,
Hoping his love one day again would be found.
