Premium Member A Mexican Parrot

A Mexican parrot clever and wise
escaped his dreadful cage in Van Nuys
He flew out of the Valley
back to old Mexicali
singing: Hasta la vista, you guys!

I See You

I see you
I see the frown in your smile 
I see the tears in your laugh 
I see a cage in your eyes
I see the wall around your heart
I see the storm behind your sun
I see the you behind you

The Cage

Deep beneath the flesh and bones; the cage in which my hearts encased

Appears to be cracking - slowly - day by day

No, you can't see it, but i know - and

I can feel it - and

Everytime you say my name... it breaks a

Little more

Free

A bird in a cage in front of an open window
Dreams of stretching its wings
What we want the most is right in front of us yet always out of reach
I tell myself that I could always run
I want it so bad it burns
 I'll swallow the sun to breathe fire
 I want to be free

Shadows

Feeling a twinge of wretchedness
From my ugly past.
I was plagued by misery and 
treated like old dirty trash.
While existing in a dark cage in 
my own afflicted mind.
Despair, disgust and fear was 
not hard to find.
Lost, as stygian shadows crawl 
upon my soul.
Only a pretender as I played my 
role.

Baby Harry

In his cage in a rage- Baby Harry
and those visit his realm best be wary.
A smart cockatoo
who screams out: " #*@# you!"
What his master might say could be scary.


My Theme is : Birds singing.
But I hope that birds talking is okay.
However, as I write this,
Baby Harry is talking, but not in a socially acceptable way...

Wind In the Glass

Wind in the glass

Wind in the glass,
Emotions repressed,
Cage in the grass
Released heart depressed.

Tree in the wind,
Free with his feelings,
No more wants to hind,
Master of his dealings.


Words flowing free,
Discharged hidden says,
Sun in the marquee
Freedom of its rays.

Light in his face,
Kindness in his deeds.
For the human race,
Heart and soul needs,
Open freedom seeds.

Premium Member CAGE in a landscape

stay 
        awhile
wait
close eyes
listen
imagine
           wonder:
       notes
stream
          as 
  continuous
    contentment:
alone
      in this quiet
of
    my mind-
                dream..
                         ing

This poem is of thoughts and words that happened as I listened to youtube clip of John Cage piano piece 'In a Landscape' & thus in reality is a part of this happening poem.

Premium Member prison bird in orange

prison bird dressed in orange
in a cage, in a cage
you cannot fly, you cannot soar

the space is small, you feel so tight
in a tiny place, you do not feel right
the door is locked, you have no key

prison bird in solitaire
your life is stifled
one bad decision ruined your life

how many hours a day do you spend
sleeping away
wishing this sentence would end?

one bad decision ruined your life
one bad decision, brings you daily strife
fly away prison bird, enjoy your dreams

Untitled 16

My sweet tongue is coiled, prepared to pounce,
ready to be free of those three heavy notes.
The major cadence forms in my chest and 
the melody rises: a spectrum of mutinous lyrics, 
a crescendo that’s longed to sing from my throat.

They are released from their cage in a discordant chord,
each tuneless, grey syllable tumbling from my mouth.
The raw words widow me three times over, 
each ponderous sound confronts your puzzled face 
as the tune melts in your silence, dispersing in the pale air.
