CAGED

Is someone there?

I am trapped

Could anyone please care!

Will I ever be unwrapped?

 

The sturdy iron shafts have engulfed me in

I want to be set free

Loneliness is all I have ever seen

Yet my eyes are filled with dreams of love and glee

 

I should’ve been more careful

After all, the cage was built by me

But my fate was meant to be direful

And thus I locked my own self here unknowingly

 

My soul is restlessly waiting for him

To come and teach me how to be loved

The cage by each passing moment is turning more grim

But nothing can transpire until his love is proved

 

I am craving for him to come soon

With his true love as the key to unlock me

As the destiny says it, he’s my only boon

I am meant to be in his arms, flying high with him, eventually!

Oh My, This really got ot me!

...simply love the the emotions in this. I can feel this hurt.

Very nicely written, love the rhyme scheme and power in this.

I caught a meaning here that I'm not sure you were going for...you wrote of the cage being your own making. Did you turn him away and only realize it to late? Each bar being the words you used to break his heart?? Now you are the one left lonely and wanting but feeling undeserving?? I went both ways in my head with this poem...a real "thinker" I call them like this one. Good once in awhile to have to interpret what we feel is the message as a reader..and not be spoon fed it as we sometimes are...not that that's a bad thing at all..just a nice change of pace here. :) Well thought out stanzas as well.. :)

As writers we also read carefully. This could be interpreted in two different ways. You're lonely and unfulfilled, waiting for a true love to come along...or, it could also be a spiritual love you're searching for. I suppose this would all depend on the readers own wants and needs and how they choose to interpret your words. A well written poem.
