I am captive in both heart and body,
walled in by mahogany panels and
useless fears of too long standing.
Breaking free from confines I've grown
used to would take me from a place of
uneasy but accustomed safety.
Inadvertently, I throw a vacant glance at
the dirty pane, and my cursory look
becomes a fixed stare that moves through
Glass and focuses on her, the gracious one.
Music - a rhapsody - swells once again in my
heart as the silver moon and I make our vows.
I peer through the bars of a
cage too long my home.
Though the door be unlocked,
I sit still in one corner,
Not wishing to upset a balance
I've grown to accept.
An open door beckons, urging escape from my prison.
I stand at the threshold of promised freedom yet
cannot cross my mind's blockade.
I see Spring's newly-leafed oaks, their canopy
glistening and swaying,
The forsythia and flowering quince all
abloom, but
Here I shall remain in my chosen
prison and
Dream of what I love yet fain
can own.
What is this wall like brick and mortar that separates
your proud heart from mine contrite and broken?
At one time -- I recall so very well -- your soul
and spirit were joined in joy to mine.
You are near me -- how clearly I see you --
yet your eyes are miles away . . .
So, too, your wandering heart that
has left mine destroyed. . . .
Oh the intensity of your writings and the forsythia and the flowering quince abloom
i like it
Thanks, Nancy!!!
I just need look out my window!

Lovely to read...you have amazing talent...sorry for your pain.
Thank you, cultBgone, and welcome to the forum!
I appreciate your concern, but, for the most part, I have detached from the pain . . . for the most part. . . .
Have a great weekend, you and yours!

Good afternoon, Coco. (paint this yellow, please)
I am waiting for my forsythia to bloom still.
I am glad to see that two years on--- a door has opened in your cell.
Better.
I hope we live just long enough.....
to walk into the midst of bright fragrant blooms.

Thanks, CoCo, best wishes to you!
