The Cage
The Cage Upon the trees, I built my cage, oblivious. Invisible bars forged with hollow expectations and the echo of my doubts, a sly structure of limits that I thought would lift me into the blues. In a trance, I followed the rules I wrote in silence, the demands I carved into my skin, thinking they’d propel me toward the vast expanse-...

23 Minutes
Survival in spite of a series of unfortunate events, And despite being delirious in the head, I thrived in the thicket and the brush. The Moon’s departure was the Sun’s arrival, Nights in the cities was ahead, I felt alive again in the swish of the rush. Light up a diluted filter with a crush,...

In a Room with a Roof
The sky outside is bright and clear, Yet my heart is shrouded with tears. Sunlight bathes the distant houses, While smog blankets my soul. I should cherish such rare sunny days, But I'm trapped in this small room, afraid to stray. Looking into the mirror—I see: Unwashed hair, Puffy eyes, A sallow face with a bitter smile, And stacked high on my desk a pile...

If your heart has become a wild creature that no longer recognizes the cage of your ribs, If it crashes against your chest like an animal caught in the trap of unbridled desire, If it howls at the moon of silence, begging for a drop of mercy in the eternal night, Then lend me your heart, to shelter...

Bird in a Cage
English/EN: Bird in a cage, yearns not always for boundless knowledge, to soar and roam unfettered through the skies. But, when it does, will there ever be a chance? Even if so, will the journey be seamless? Even if so, will it bear fruit? Even if so, will the soul truly feel, savor it? Even if so, still, blood may drip everywhere, drops...

The Cage of Love
You say you love the mountains high, But never reach to touch the sky. You say you love the ocean’s waves, Yet fear the path the water paves. You say you love the river’s song, Yet flee before it pulls you along. You say you love me; still, I see, Your love was never meant for me. You say love burns like a...

Premium Member In his cage of thoughts, the captive man writes with wings of ink
In his cage of thoughts, the captive man writes with wings of ink, surrounded by crumpled parchments like autumn leaves, he dreams, of things seen through his tarnished window, a portal to the world beyond, where the vast ocean whispers its stories with waves of longing. His canvases are giant ships carrying on their decks free souls, with the will...

Beyond the Past
The past is a lesson, not a prison, The past is a mentor, not a captor. The past is a tale, not a jail, The past is a page, not a cage. The past is a foundation, not a stagnation, The past is a phase, not a maze. The past is a guide, not a slide, The past is a map, not...

The Bird in a cage
Poem (The bird in a cage) Listen to my story of how I forgot The days of freedom and nights I would fly with open wings And fellow birds through woods in sprite Hither and thither, fluttering Over gardens, mountain and trees And listening to sweet songs Of nearby birds, flying bees Unfortunately those cruel trapped...

Premium Member Wings of Knowledge
A caged bird, her spirit bound, By ancient chains, on barren ground. But knowledge comes, a gentle breeze, And sets her free, among the trees. Her wings unfold, a vibrant hue, She soars to heights, a vision true. With book in hand, and heart aflame, She claims her place and sings her name....

My sweet Canary
My sweet canary just loves to sing, with his yellow beak and golden wing. His lovely songs will make you shake, all other tunes will sound a fake. But as I sit and think alone, I feel my heart is made of stone. My precious bird could be my sin, I keep his soul well locked within. For every soul is born so...

In my heart's cage
In the warmth of your smile, Crystal vibes radiate, calming my soul. Your gentle eyes, a haven for me, Infatuating, yet serene, setting me free. Allaying fears of losing you, I hold tight, In the cage of my heart, where love shines bright. You're locked in my embrace, forever safe, Cherished moments, an eternal escape. In dreams, your presence trespasses, Relishing moments, forever caressed. My...
