This-

is a tragedy
no one seems to see.

This,

is but, travesty -
no one else but me.

I am alone
in journey's thought
not at home,
not where I ought--
not the place
I long to be
not a trace
of face of me...

I, enraged,
beat bars of cage--
an animal, in pace...
love, ungauged,
the futile rage,
a thread,
unwoven...LACE.

Gosh that's so deep and filled with meaning but I can't figure it out...however, I loved it anyway....poetically a real gem...ethome
I've got about three different ways I've gone with the meaning....oh you Louisiana girls are so filled with mystery.....ethome

someone once said a caged bird wont sing  ..
obviously ... they never read your poetry ...
you are lace baby..and your pen weaves with spun gold...
love you

S'en this is perfectly woven with the
emotion that runs deep in your soul...and
you open the bars and let if flow out like
fine sweet wine...((hugs)) sweetie!


You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~

serenity, somehow I can see you as a cat, trapped... pacing. a beautiful sleek black panther.... unloved by society...

well, really have no idea what the depths of this poem is about but... it sure sounds deep.
