I lay languidly by your side
My thoughts scattered, disarmed and flushed
Sweet drowsy dreams,though still awake
You sweep away my inner pain
Soothing and calming my fragile ego
I was lost, now I'm claimed.

Captivated and snared, my wayward soul
A bird before an open cage
Refusing to fly, my haven laying
Beside you, safe, warm and secure
Who breaks these bonds, not I
Your blue eyes pierce my reverie
Iwas half, now I'm whole.

It is funny how we think that we are complete without another half.  You wrote it well.

This reminds me that love keeps what belongs to it, and a bird will linger where sustenance and sunlight nourish it's song...lovely tender baskings here, nature girl, and no longer a need for the cage.  

Karen

(suggestion:  drop the 'ing' from the words "soothing and calming" for more continuity with the previous line...and the same for tense in this line... "my haven lies beside you")
