MEME BY MY DEAR FRIEND MEL

Remove those chains, Around my painful wrists. Remove these hurting hands, From my screaming throat. And stop your burning breath, From my hurting arms, My aching heart, My crying brain. Return to me the sight, The speech, hearing, the legs. Let me down from this tree, This prison, This fleeting life. Like smoke blowing in the wind, Disappearing, Gone. Words restored to script. Words turned into rhyme. Wheels instead of legs. Live like never thought Could be. Seeing sun, hearing wind, Feeling love, For more than just me, Far more. © Darren White

Your freedom my friend is awarded you through your wonderful poetry, you may feel chained but I can assure you, you fly around this place, your words soar and touched us all. Really well written Darren.

Darren, I read your biography and like you English isn't my native tongue.. I have struggled to improve my grammar and words here.. You have too a very inspirational life story, keep going! :) I know a few arabic since I worked in Saudi before.. :) I like free verse as this is one of the forms that doesn't limit a writer to express.. Your poem above is strong, it is screaming of feelings ad thoughts.. :) carry on! :) Smiles, Olive Eloisa
