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;
