Fragile body
Fragile pieces of a former whole
Put together by lessons learned
Weaving a spell in which to hold
All the pieces in the warmth as one

Broken mind
Broken thoughts that used to shape
A form and direction
About each, the other would drape
Themselves in mutual polarity

Tortured soul
Tortured wings that fly no more
Bearing no resemblance to those which
Flew so proudly before,
Now burned by the envious sun

Changed forevermore

well, you had me on the title alone...
very nice...
I REALLY like this one--body, mind and soul...*S*
stalking all of you...
your jm



 and you can say baby...
baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if told you the right words...
at the right time,
you'd be mine...
baby can I hold you tonight...

The image of the burnt wings reminded me of that myth about the guy who flew too close to the sun..and I think the idea of burnt wings was a great one...seemed to bring together the thoughts...

I enjoyed reading this
