You display the things
that you want me to see
while speaking of
a lovers melody,
and hold me captive
under your wings,

without allowing me to fly

Protecting me
but yet, not willing to try
or perhaps it's your way
of keeping whats real
hidden from my eyes.

The feast is on
  the tables been set
     so keep carving layers

          you haven't devoured me yet.


The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

So many children think that, especially as they are guided to achievement by parents not ability or in reverse that have ability but a parent has decided they are only good for breeding and living off a man.

To have ability, be given the chance to demonstrate must be one of the nicest things there is.

Excellent words.

This poem is no Turkey, sorry couldn’t resist, your way with words brings complex thoughts to simple understanding.

Donna - your poetry carries such power - such poignancy - truly a pen with some muscle yet still dripping eloquence

Donna,  simply superb.  Sad,  how they
sometimes cannot let the bird fly,  even
for a second...in fear of it nevr returning.
When love is there...the dove always comes
back to the nest...

as the others say  yes it is powerful and all should be able to fly independently to reach ones purpose  ones destiny instead of codependent to ease ones fear of being alone  or not needed   not allowing real love  to grow and spread it wings and fly or having the ability to do and be ones self or knowing the ability to be proud of giving love and growth and encouriging flight of independece knowing love always comes back    thanks   and hugs
