Poem Title:
Poem
When love is not enough The bird of love sits in a gilded cage, sometimes it gets out and flies in search of mischief. Anton, a young student from a middle-class family sat in a crowded café drinking a beer, when Maria entered, she had a coffee since the café was full Anton beckoned for her to sit with him at his table. Love is cruelly struck! In infatuation, they had met by chance and nothing about them made sense, Anton was well educated Maria could struggle through the headlines of the local newspaper, but she was of a generous disposition, eyes that mirrored her warm nature. The bird of love was back in its cage and felt smug. Anton’s family threatened to disinherit him, Maria’s family of Tinkers were outraged that she loved someone outside the clan. The loving couple lived in the poor part of the town Anton had a horse collect rubbish and brought the stuff to the town’s waste depot, this he drank a bit, put him in a mellow mood. After work, Anton sat in the stable reading books and newspaper, sometimes Maria came and they spent the night there. At home were two sons who blamed their parents for their poverty and lack of progress, they also made fun of the mother who had grown fat and had bad teeth; they also stole Maria’s cash she stored in an empty biscuit tin. Their love was so overwhelming they had no time for the children; in the cage, the bird of love grinned.
