Fly Sugared crumbs you fed to me Just enough to tempt me with Enough to keep me hungry then Begging to soothe the pain Imprisoned in a cage of trust All built from imagination I handed you the only key Tossing my pride away You never let me fly again Binding my wings with love Freedom was the price i paid Leaving my life behind It grew so cold inside my cage Lonliness a shadow companion Affection starved,my spirit failed Shivering and dying Whistle again your sweet love song Tempting a new lady bird Let her feathers brush you as she flies Learning to love at last |

This one really does ache. To me, the best advice I can give anyone is to seek inside to see if you can write this even better. A poem is a living thing, as long as the author is also. Poems change and grow as the author does as well. Sparticus Even with insects- |

Dear Betty, Sparticus, Joyce and Cusick, thank you for your kind thoughts and comments on this one. I agree with sparticus this one needs a little more work. I tend to work on my poetry when the flow of my muse is broken and i will re think this one soon. hugs june x |

This poem is disturbing to me, which is a good thing, to be moved by the work. It's a sad piece, but brimming with honesty and raw emotion. |
