A Captive Bird

 Captive Bird

By Connie James

I am...
A captive bird
That swayed in the breeze
In mine golden cage swaying
Beneath my skies...
Stale the air that I breathe;
And his words, I dream!
Taking me far and wide
Being carried, in the wind
For am the wind beneath your sails
Unfurling for me
Skimming the waves like a dream
By my side
Gazing at me
Tormenting me as you do
Filling my heart...
A wondrous feeling;
Taking hold,
Getting you closer to me
To touch to kiss to feel;
The look in your eyes I see,
You cannot disguise the need
in your eyes...
What's happened to you!
Where did you get to?
Your phrases confounding me,
your words.
Your touches your kisses,
missing you.
Fluttering my heart like a trapped bird
That cannot fly!!
To be free take to the winds and fly
Swaying in the thermal winds,
You and I!
You are the winds beneath my sails
The air that I breathe the way I undulate
Beneath your skin,
The dreams I dreamed...
Running like a river through me
Carried away in the breeze;
His words filling me my senses
With longings, of love yearnings
Phrases that I want to hear
Touching kissing your lips, eyes
Conditioning my Mind, in ways possible,
I thought not...
But there again trapped like, a captivated bird
That fly cannot,
Peeking beyond the clouds, the skies;
The scent of, he inebriating me!
Like a fine wine;
His words filling my mind
With pink dreams...
To have to hold to touch to kiss
To be free!
Being carried beneath his wings;






                         

RESPECT NATURE

Respect nature

We must learn to respect nature
Trees are living breathing
Just like you and me!
They'll be here long after we depart
Wouldn't you agree?
Our oceans are being abused
F..ked up by humanity the life being choked up
cannot breathe our seas 
And the air that we breathe be spoilt by you and me
Our wild life's crying out for mercy
Killing for greed they'll be... 
It's imperative we keep the planet going,
For our families...
Yah yours and mine that'll be 
Cleansing of its impurities 
Removing toxins so that you and can breath
Just go out there and hug a tree
One can feel the vibes vibrating through you...
Oh what's to be a tree, reaching for the skies
And see what we cannot see...
Communicating amongst other trees
Warning of an invasion of us human beings
The destroyers of their world!
And they weep like you and me when their branches
They'll be cutting!
Am sure they laugh at our idiocy
In all our glory seeing us
As we run dance manically from tree to tree
Climbing amongst their branches  swinging, undulating
Catapulting through the air, oh ecstasy!!
Climbing higher into the canopy
Viewing beyond the horizon far, as far as we can see 
And beyond yonder, mesmerised you'll be!
The little creatures before me
Sway and dance on the thermal winds with easy
How I wish I was a bird flying from tree to tree
With such elegance swaying with ease...
Following my eyes those little creatures before me
So attuned my senses, imagining it was me!
A glorious feeling exuding through me
As it lands right beside me inquiring of me
What the hell are you doing sitting on my tree?
As I frown at he laughing, mil perdones am on my way!
Awfully sorry having disturbed thee! 
 

In the streets of my mind

Streets of My Mind

In the labyrinths of my mind
Searching through.
In a state of abandonment,
Freedom...
Inspiration seeking all around me
As I stand beyond yonder and stare
Threading carefully pathways,
Unfamiliar to me...
Lost in the streets of my mind
Confoundedly...
No apparent realisation...
Turbulent thoughts of you
Sipping through...
In my melancholy, threading walking
Stopping listening
Underfoot crunching fallen leaves
Jumping over fallen trees
Silently devouring the memories of you
Thoughts uncontrollable sensations
Irrepressible feelings, putting me through
I love you, inexorably ...
The abandonment of minds
Cruising from sigh to sigh
A drugged mind appearing,
Emotions, high... 

Apollo versus Ischia's...

Apollo Versus Ischia's

Ischia standing her ground,
As a fuse Apollo has, blown
Blowing his top,
Like a volcano erupting...
At the turn of things flummoxed was she
Some misdeed real or imagery...
Such anger, irate incandescent accusing me,
Confounding leaving me!
Oh, yah!
Joking that was the crux!
Of some joke, was I making
Joking he likes not much, too serious is he
Always joking!!...
And he berated admonishing me!
Ischia's soul hitting rock bottom
How dare he put the onus back on me!
Bad, crazy women!!
What do you want from me?
Your tirade left me anything but cold
I was seething within me,
Did I deserve any of it, no no siree!
The only misdeed I made was allowing you,
in loving me;
And with the flow, I got carried away,
The buck stays with you...
For I asked for nothing, you wouldn't let it be
Until I've fallen for you...
At all times bombarding me, your kisses
Turning my head around, I must say;
I liked the things you do, intoxicatingly!
But make no mistake, my fuse is just as short as yours!
I've asked for nought, just happened to fall for you...
Abusing me any, favours won't do you!
How could I have been so blind!
Humiliating me!
I gave all I had to give, I gave you me!
Okay! immature I may have been;
But this child within me keeping me,
from blowing a fuse...
I speak the truth I love to joke and laugh
And loving you;
Excuse me for having such fun!
A human being I'll be with needs wants desires,
just like you!
But I won't have you throwing a tantrum, just
Because I love to laugh joke...
My worlds as grey as it is!
I need laughter love raising my spirits high
Not a draconian greek god, keeping me down
Cause I smile!!...
Admonishing me for breathing!
Beyond my imagination, your lovemaking
Into a thousand, little pieces, breaking me
To reach for the unreachable
That'll teach me!!...
All your touches your kisses may not be enough
Losing my soul...
To the depths of hell dragging me...
it's not good for me!
I love you, Ischia say, you
But I need you to love me for me
Not some illusion of me...
Complicated am not, I'm just me! 
And I loved the places you took me
Never before experienced...
Beyond my imagination taking me,
The touches!!
Leaving me screaming, for more,
All the while whispering I love you Ischia,
loving me;
My soul deserting me setting my, blood on fire
Clawing at, some place to anchor me
What you've done, oh Apollo?
From my comfort zone, taking me making me, feel! 
How dare you making me feel!
Now back again in the depths of hell
Where you've deposited me
Fragmenting my soul and me!
