BOUND

 

i walked the path of the unknown, 

and listened to riddles of the gods. 

i was made to believed i am with the wise, 

'til my heart was lured by the glamour of your gloss. 

 

mirage clouded my eyes to see reality, 

and doubts to know what is beyond. 

in my heart i felt something is wrong, 

but was afraid to asked what is reality? 

 

like a bird in a cage with wings 

but cannot fly and wander beyond her kingdom. 

her gaze always up in the sky 

dreaming of one day to fly and never come back.

This piece reminds me of one famous and timeless song by Sir Elton John.
" Skyline Pigeon " ( Edited )
Turn me loose by Your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway

For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey

For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind

Just let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In the brightness of my day

I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But Lord most of all please free me
From this aching metal ring
And open out my cage towards the SON.

a good stretching of writing muscles. The poem has feeling. Keep at it.

Kinda cliche but I did like it. :)

[Perfect Mistake]

Bound and longing for the day to be unbound. Good poem.

This is a really nice and wonderful poem. The only thing that got me a little bit was the bird in a cage is a bit of a cliché - but that's just me being silly. Thanks for sharing :)

wonderful write!

[Sugar Plum ♥]

I love this poem, you have phylosophical view in all writings, ideas of dreams. lost in way and travelling alone in unknown ways...Its full of deep thoughts about life and future...

[Shy Girl]

Wonderful thoughts...can almost see the lost look on her face...the questions flitting and the uncertainty of it all within her mind.. :)

This poem is simply amazing. It flows so easily, I read it a second time because I enjoyed it so much. Each word perfectly fits in that certain line, and I also love the connotation behind the poem, and the questioning of reality. Very philosophical, I love this kind of stuff haha. And the last part, the desire to be free, was also well expressed. Great job!
