Broken Wings

Image inspired..  this is simply poetic expression. 

 

 

 

Close the windows and lock the door,

I cannot take this anymore.

Throwing down the cards, fold my hand.

This is not what I had planned

 

I have not been myself lately,

skilled knives have mended so greatly-

the bones, but lost my will to sing.

Gravity won and broke my wings

 

There’s no more fear in the breakdown,

I have lost the will not to drown.

So easy to ride, down this slide,

can’t you see it in my dark eyes?

  

I’ve been good at wearing the mask,

to hide the tears, so they don’t ask.

Such busy lives, no time to spare,

so let me go, for I’m not scared.

 

I have slipped far, this time dear,

ready to quit the game, no fear.

Into a hole where time has ceased,

longing to claim my soul deceased.

 

No metaphors to shield the weak,

silence is what I crave, don’t speak.

Has nothing to do with you dear,

it’s just as plain and clear…

 

to me…so,

 

Close the windows and lock the door,

I cannot take this anymore.

Throwing down the cards, fold my hand.

This is not what I had planned

A Light Breeze

Sings like the wind, the notes collide;

producing serenades above.

Adrift, sweet sounds are floating by -

melodic songs coo, like a dove.

 

Swirling veil entwined with the breeze,

silk white dress embracing her form.

Dances freely beneath the trees,

as soulful moonlight keeps her warm.

 

Spirit so free, no thoughts to grieve

harmony - deep within her heart.

Radiant glow – midsummer’s eve;

a vision of exquisite art.

 

Beauteous angel – beacon light,

safe passage on this twisted road.

Future unknown - brighten the night

with your light upon me, bestowed.
