Notes About The Poem

A Countryside Breeze

You were mine,
glad to be caged,
imprisoned in my grip,
an ecstasy of love.

I was not wise,
looked further afield,
found other nymphs,
satiated and fully satisfied
I shunned your essence.

I opened my hand 
and you
like a freed butterfly,
flew away.

I saw you gorge
on nectar sweet
and urged you back,
but the chain was broken.
Once again
like spring-time seeds
you flew away
upon the countryside breeze.

Sara Kendrick July 29, 2021 at 6:46 AM Some people just are not going to be tied down to only one love. They are born that way and have to flit like a butterfly or a hummingbird. I enjoyed reading your work. I am sure you have know people like this from viewing it from afar. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
