so sad where no birds do sing
in captivity

As morning falls

The shower calls

And the mirror like a surrogates arms

I reflect on captivity....

Captivity
Bind my feet and tie my hands
In tiny little knots.
Seal my body to the earth,
But don’t constrain my thoughts....

I thought I would be 
a man with the mind
of a sage,
unfortunately,
she tried to put me
in captivity 
in a cage...

She Succombs
After much struggle  against
Captivity of her heart, 
Which was infused with passion,
She succumbs to him..

In Captivity
Ideal splendour
flames of emotions arise
desired and possessed.
Beauty in captivity
adoration blazing down.

life was better filthy and free ~ than spotless in caged captivity

Journey of Love
Time is resolutely in motion
       In no captivity or subjugation

Let not the caravan of life halt
Love is a journey not a destination

Ambition was not mine 
Captivity whence and calms the mind 
Ranging fire burn alight 
Over the dark blue sky at night 
Shadows rise big surprise

In vain sacrifice 
Convulse converse rage outbursts .....

The Predator's Delight
In you can be seen the predator's delight
Enjoying the fear in your prey's eyes,
Setting to unleash your savage might
As the helpless before you lies,
No chance is there for captivity nor flight,
For mercy with your heart has no ties....

Buried Treasure
Buried treasure
deep in the abyss of turquoise
Buried treasure
like a queen in captivity,
of vanished glory, a drowned voice,
fables of when she did rejoice, 
Buried treasure

Your Ardour
Who adjourns me
in this backlight story
Who will call the wolf
to dance in her captivity ?
Willow wisp dispensing hollowness
espied on fields of grey

The World's a stage
disembark at your own peril
Pontificate
your ardour
anoints us well...

Resentment
Ages of passivity
My soul in captivity
I have endured longevity
and created a malignity
Now lives my iniquity
Causing a calamity
I am damned to an eternity
of spiteful animosity
Will I ever be free
or will I be left empty
Only in time I will see!!!...

Forgiveness
I’ve been forgiven and set free
Like a bird once in captivity,
I am doing myself a favour,
When I choose to forgive my neighbour,
That increases my capacity. To receive all
God has in store for me. And enjoy his gift
Of blessing, and a long awaited VICTORY....

Dogs In the Pound
They're tapping on the glass,
 you see?
I feel like i'm some strange anomaly,
 Please someone help,
come to the rescue,

This magnify glass is burning my eyes!
 In captivity I'll wait,
Until one special day,
 when the flashy bright lights stop inspecting me,
And I'll have a home for all eternity!...

Letting Go
I held her close
Gently caressing her cascading tresses
Our hearts in synchronous rhythm
Beating to the tune of an unknown song
Her eyes of limpid blue
Held mine of softer brown
In captivity
Unwilling to let go
Longing for eternity.

She smiled
And sighed
And let go
Her soft breath forever!...

Natures Ill Moments
Touching warm rains
blinking sun feigns 
foolish clouds try to sweep
thunder shutters  all.

winds combining to stir
darkness steps in to warn
that a storm has brewed
lighting startles the sky

nature held in captivity
time has been uprooted
beauty has been stricken 
till the rainbow rescues all....
