This heart of mine, still full of love, it now feels cold, this heart that throve by true love, passion, honesty, no longer seem to crave for thee. You strangle me with so much care. Your words, listen I hardly dare. Too much attention you demand, without a word you do command. I need to stay the real true me. I’ll die without that, can’t you see. The more myself I can remain, the more I can ease all your pain. Where is the trust I so much need ? Instead you give me jealousy, for what I give to others too. You do not know my love is true ? I need to wander, need to sigh, I need to dream and need to fly, so trust me and give me some air, or this will end in deep despair. Myself I need to be the most, without that I’ll become a ghost. I love you for etenity, but let my spirit wander free. Only this way my love can thrive, without this I am not alive. Melancholy and ecstacy are both a very part of me. For now in my own world I hide and I feel pretty bad inside. Melancholy’s come over me, though darkness doesn’t set me free. I need to scream and yell at times, cry like a child, it ain’t no crime. A person with my cons and pro’s, though mostly soft, yet thorny rose. Too much I have to keep inside, my tongue too often I must bite. It takes away the happiness and makes me feel such loneliness. Like animals do in a trap, I rather live with handicap. Will bite my paw for freedom’s sake and live for real despite the ache. Caged like a bird I can not fly, without my wings I surely die. My magic will shine upon thee, just let me be my real true me. |

Excellent, Munda! We certainly have to be ourselves for our souls to fly! Caged is no way to live, that's for sure! Denise |

Very poigniant piece Munda....and I agree with Denise..living in a cage is not living..it's only existing We need to fly!!! Wonderfully expressed.... A soul that writes from the heart and shares it, truly gives a gift extraordinaire! Shannon |

This is great work. But, as I read it seemed to me more that the author is Consumed than Caged. I liked the work, but not the circumstance. All too common I fear. |

Makes me feel sorry for the poor person. That is probably what you meant to do! Kelly I love the male body, it's better designed than the male mind.---Andrea Newman |

To walk my path is what I yearn, It's twists and turns and hilly climbs. To watch me sweat and feel the burn. I want to live my life like this, To feel the wind and catch my breath. To feel the moments and your kiss. I'll love you true, until I die, I accept you just as you are. You need not very ask me why. The same is all I ask of you, Don't try to change the who I am. Would you love me just like you do? Great poem Munda. I understand the situation completely. I was married to a man who tried to change who I was. He never suceeded thankfully! Be strong and be true always. ((HUGS)) |

*applauds* I'm glad you've managed to free yourself.. Very touching poem.. MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU, MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND Irish Blessing |

This is a lovely poem! I am so glad you are no longer caged and are living your life to the full. You deserve all the happiness and I hope you get it all! Love and hugs, Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |
