Victor Buhagiar Poet Free verse

Loss of Freedom

My heart is incarcerated.
Will it ever know freedom once more?

For since I have met you
It has been ripped and shred apart,
Played with and abused beyond my control.

Occasions came when you gave me your nectar,
Allowed me like a bee to savor your sweetness,
And then discarded me for days on end.
Then shall I ponder on the emptiness
That love can give to a caring heart.

I wallow wantonly in despondent deception.
So I have changed, grew cynical and angry,
And I will never regain my sanity
Until I find some form of equilibrium,
Some form of placid peace of mind.
But will I be able to achieve any
If I continue to hanker over you?

This can only occur when I
Shall have the guts to admit my fault,
Seek meekness and kneel down
To pray to my Father who is in Heaven.
Bring my love back to me.

Beryl Edmonds September 13, 2021 at 2:36 PM A write from the heart Victor, most of us have been there, wanting, waiting and anticipating. Sometimes we have to let go or spend our time in the misery of sorrow. Be happy in the now, tomorrow will take care of itself… Hugs, Belle

Judy Ball September 13, 2021 at 8:19 AM This is such a heartfelt piece. One who is entranced by one who plays hard to get. A wise man tries for awhile and then realizes he should spend his time elsewhere. People who use others are not worth your time. Great write filled with emotion. God Bless, JB

Delice Arleen Skelly September 13, 2021 at 1:06 AM My heart is incarcerated. Will it ever know freedom once more?.....What a perfect start to a poem filled with self-doubt

Andrea Dietrich September 12, 2021 at 3:27 PM very nice, Victor, and I enjoyed seeing the word hanker appear in this poem. it's a word I just taught my ESL students!

Evelyn Judy Buehler September 12, 2021 at 10:38 AM I like the way this touching poem on heartbreak ends with resolution and hope. Hugs.

Sotto Poet September 12, 2021 at 7:08 AM It's a fascinating piece of writing that has been brilliantly written. Victor, I really appreciated your altruistic poem today, and it had a great emotional weight on me.

Vijay Pandit September 12, 2021 at 6:05 AM Even in expression of grief--loss of love--your thoughts prosper. Evocative write. Well done, Victor.

Mystic Rose Rose September 12, 2021 at 5:26 AM How we have learned all these acts of self preservations from our fore fathers and mothers, and one day we realize that love is the only thing that heals, so we let go, I enjoyed your humanistic poem today, Have a blessed day, Love xo

Tania Kitchin September 12, 2021 at 4:51 AM Wonderful emotional expression Victor! hugs

Joanna Daniel September 12, 2021 at 3:22 AM Comes from your heart, Victor, I like the way you end it with finding true peace in the Lord:)

Tom Cunningham September 12, 2021 at 2:09 AM Doesnt sound too solid the relationship Victor, if she's that way inclined maybe it's time to move on. Tom
