Photograph

Pulling me into your universe Holding me hostage there Only surviving as caged bird Teal feathers float in despair Onyx smile still haunts now Grateful for future green days Raping my heart the silver sound A little cliche amethyst masquerade Painting purple powerful poses Hostage of your drug overdoses

As a former professional photographer, the title drew me in. What I found was not what I was expecting, but the journey was well worth the price of admission. Great poem, I loved the imagery and the flow. Outstanding! Thank you for sharing! Ron
