Your words cage my Body,
But Lines do not define
Nor do Boundaries hold.

Clip these Wings,
Ah, but Flight will not leave me.
Hold me to the Ground,
Oh, but how high I will soar.

Capture me.
Hide me from the world.
Haunt me.

But I will never leave my Cloud.
You see, some are meant to fly.
Some are meant to swim;
Some are meant to run.

Your chains cannot hold
The Strength of the Brave ones.
We will fly.
We will swim.
We will run.

Its constant melancholy living in a city.
Your contained between faded yellow lines and blinking red lights.
I yearn for the crisp January moon that isn't drowning in faded street lights and exhaust fumes.
I miss staring out into the misty meadow damp with dew
where fawns grazed lightly and I tip toed away.
Where is the forest that I used to wander,
where I got lost on trails with my father.
Our hearts are wild,
that's why their caged.
But this heart can't be tamed...
Light.
The unexplained light.
light that swirls and dances
light that won’t stay in your hands
light that is fleeting
light that sets beneath cold horizons
and suddenly you cant breath
Suddenly you can think
You’re trapped in a world where you’re all alone
Where you reach your hand for help
And everyone just keeps walking
Where you can scream
but not make a sound
Where tears must stay in your eyes
And words stick in your throat
The same light that once danced for you
Once made you happy
Now mocks you as you drown
In inescapable darkness
I want out
Dear god, please,
Just let me think,
Let me breathe
Let me feel,
because I’ve gone numb
Because I’m scared
Because I feel so impossibly alone
I want to get out
But I can’t
I am trapped,
I am
Caged.

I'm immensely saddened,
I don't know what's happened,
A smile has fallen low,
I've got nowhere to go..
And I'm aimlessly walkin' back and forth,
In..my..cage.
In a cage..

Clouds hang heavy over head,
Filling my heart with unbidden sadness.
Tears well in my eyes,
and the emotions there…
Turbulent,
Chaotic.
A tropical storm.

Warm and passionate,
despite the pain.
Festering slowly,
An open wound.

So i hide.
Deep within the cave i’ve created.
A safe haven from my memories.
An enclosed space where i can still watch the stars.

High above,
Reflected in open waters.
Am i closer to the Gods?
Am i closer to freedom?

Hope blooms deep beneath my veins.
So i take a breath, and skin below the waves.

It reflected in his eyes,
The demons he tried to hide.
Heart caged by barbed ribs,
To keep his demons out of reach.
He danced with angels of darkness;
A waltz of his tormenting past.
Until came she....
Washed away his soul with serenity.
His broken heart healed,
Along with a newfound emotion,
No longer was it filled with abhor or venom.
The sound of her heart could conceal his demons,
But hidden deep, a small part remained.
The shadows of his past would not fade away,
She tried to wash his sins,
But it was not in her will to decide,
He pushed her away and,
The only thing that remained,
Were the fading teardrops on his doorway.
Loose thoughts Feb 2015
Intense emotions released
With rage, they greet
On sadness, they feast
Only then, they are please
Slowly then, they are decreased
For now, they are ceased
Will next time give warnings?
For that, I wish at least
Or will they give out unconscious roars of a beast..

Come one, come all
Boys and girls
To see the miraculous
Fallen angel

She once was white
Pure in heart
Feathers groomed
The best that she could be

But one day
She flew into a storm
Her wings torn
Tainted grey and black

She fell from the sky
Her dreams shattered
And now not even God
Can bare to look her way

She is the broken one
Once whole and beautiful
But now
Now she is nothing

Don't worry kids,
She won't hurt you
She's too busy
Hurting herself

Hold her hand
For just a moment
And perhaps
She'll tell of how she flew

But that is over now
Let's leave the past
In the past
And move on

That's all folks
Say goodbye now
To the one and only
Fallen angel

caught in a spell
caged; blocked,
closed and locked
covered in tears
ink smudged
paint dried
all useless
patience is missing
running out of ink
words unclear
and unwritten

sin
it's not aloud
they say
it's against what we believe in
they say
it's a sin
they say
but did they know
that the only thing sinful
was the way they caged me
and hid me from the outside?
i know nothing of the world
outside these four walls
but what i do know
is that it's a sin
to keep me
locked inside
when i all i've ever wanted
was to be free
feeling a tad bit angry at the moment. not my best but it needed to be written.
