Gilded
 
A beautiful bird stares
from a gilded cage.
The door closes 
and it's soul dies once again.
The loneliness calls
to my heart from within
Such a tragic,
interminable life to live.
What a travesty 
to trap a pure soul such as this!
Hold on, my love,
as I set you free...
You've so much of
the world yet to see

The feeling of elation slowly dying as  I am faced with unequivocal proof  That I am not yours.  Remembering why I do not allow myself to truly get lost in your arms. My mind whispering that I knew better. That I knew, to let go was to hurt. My heart quiets to a slow, lethargic rhythm,  Thoroughly chastised until the next time.

Daydreaming lazily... Idly caressing your skin Soft, slumberous kisses As we drift along the fringes of sleep.  Your rumbling voice talking quietly  And the softness of your chest hair tickling my cheek Threading my fingers through Yours...

Smiling gently up at you As your words drift off to nothing... Cuddling my sleeping angel closer.  My own heaven on Earth.

Fateful Heart   What cruel trick is this.. to love and not receive? To reach for and never touch? Fate wields her spiteful power with an uncaring flick of wrist; and goes about her duty with nary a backward glance. "What of me?", I cry! "Is my pain unworthy of your notice?" "Does my heart's blood upon the floor not garner your attention?" Yet she strolls on, ever the cruel mistress.  I languish here in agony, bereft and alone... Until life wanders past and admonishes, "Come, you must journey on."
