Rallies

Oh the waste
to step one more day
confined
concealed
and mortared
Trapped behind a china curtain
the steps I take in endless circles
traveling within myself
Better to break the cast around these feet
walk in the school's tutelage
of lessons taught by a lover's breath
A warmth so scarring
yet a liberty learned of the woman
held in chains
White as this shell so self-imposed
a heartbeat rallies
crying passion
I'm free to live
free to love
The stain of my lips
a cherry mark upon the world
the allure of my undying

Poetic verse nestled in the warmth of my heart, reveals the sweet yearnings of my soul....

Free to let you heart take flight and give and receive love. Very well done. I felt the freedom expressed in this poem.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
