On Wings of Love So afraid to give myself completely I always held back, locked away in an iron cage, gilded with gold So easy to pretend it wasn’t a prison, but a home The lock present, not to keep me in, but to keep others out So certain the bars weren’t my confinement but my freedom… from hurt and betrayal, lies and deceit Then you came and opened my eyes to the truth around me For the first time, I saw clearly the boundaries I had created You released the latch and swung open the door, leaving me to ease my own way out The open space scared me But your smile ~Oh, your smile~ encouraged me to spread my wings and fly to you: the only home I’d ever need And for the first time ~I soared~ |

This is lovely and inspiring, Tara. Gosh, how I relate - especially to the first few verses. I'm saving it my library to read often. I only hope that I can grow wings like this someday. May you always soar on the winds of love  Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

This is lovely Tara, and I most certainly can identify with this. You have not just learned how to fly, but you have learned how to soar.......may the winds carry you in love. *s* On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |

"So easy to pretend it wasn’t a prison, but a home The lock present, not to keep me in, but to keep others out" Beautiful words and beautiful emotions! Well done - Jeff |

Marge, I'm winging it and flying high! Jwesley and Sven, thank you and that's exactly what I'm planning on doing! Melissa Honeybee, keep the faith, we're all destined to sprout wings and fly. Sandra, thank you..it's certainly been a long journey since those dark days last fall. Butterflies_dont_cry, I'm so glad you enjoyed these lines...I'm even happier that you know from firsthand experience exactly what I'm writing about. Is there any better feeling than when love gives you wings? Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to read this poem. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit! |
