Can a Bird Fly if its Wings get Wet? I wonder....

Can a Bird Fly if its Wings get Wet? I wonder....

A Poem by MsJewel
"

~ just a scribble ~

"


Like a curious cardinal upon the window sill...




I gaze upon the courtyard, lust in my eyes

          watching

as flecks of sun and shade play in the trees,

fallen leaves rustling along the brick path

 

I wonder…

What is it I covet so hungrily?

                                      passion?

to stay in this moment and soak up the sun

your eyes on my bare thighs?

 

While under my feet roses, daisies and myrtle spring up every hour

 

Or am I leaning towards envy,

                           as I look to the sky

listening to the wind whisper secrets of days to come,

 like a love poem, written in flesh

surrendering everything to create a life as beautiful as the dreams

                                   dancing in my imagination

 

The clouds rush in and in their misty shadow,

    I’m a savage

faithful and faithless

magnanimous and cruel…

 

Decipher me or I will devour you!

For there is no question

not another sun will arise unseen

 

As the rain starts,

    I wonder..


Can a bird fly if its wings get wet?

I very much enjoy the way this is written with a playful spirit & gentle tones of imagery. It feels like a fluttering bird, each random idea is so surprisingly hopping around the central theme of your message. I also like the thought-provoking question in your title & final line . . . well crafted as a metaphor for many aspects of how life & love can feel.

Thank you John. It's always a delight when you visit. :) Julie
This is so different from most of your love poems.
It shows so much depth and subtrafuge that a wordsmith might use to build a compelling read.
And I love it.

So nice to see you writing again.

Thank you Larry :) Julie
What a profound piece! The diction is graceful and unidealized. You paint such a graphic picture of inner wrestling and while it may be melancholic it was also encouraging. "...I’m a savage
faithful and faithless
magnanimous and cruel…" Lovely and well written work. Thank you for sharing.
