Log In
Of Bone and Flesh
By CrowsOmen
An empty room,
Stark and white,
A cold wind blows,
Its touch a bite,
Pages turn,
A musty cage,
Memories burn,
An empty stage,
Lightning bolts,
An anguished cry,
An unsure state,
God cast the die,
Another cage,
Of bone and flesh,
An empty rage,
A need to mesh,
The prison's warden,
Broke the Key,
A lonely songbird,
Who can't be free.

Love the structure and metaphorical wording. Everything we do, must be done from withing our personal cage. Whether someone can figure out how to do it or not though, while retaining sanitt, is the question though... ♡

Our own prisons are the worst kind, and it's a task to learn how to function within those boundaries. I'm really feeling the nature and flow of your writing, and this is spot on! Rebs:).

Thank you so much Rebs! I've always found understanding to be the highest compliment someone can pay to my work. I'm a huge fan of your work already, so your comment really means a lot. Thank you. :3

Oh honey, I understand completely what it's like. I struggled with opiate addiction for years, and that can imprison someone quickly. I don't use any longer, but the urge is still there. It's always nice to find someone who gets it. If you ever need to talk, I'm around :).

Thanks Worm! Your assesment is spot on! I've been writing in general since I was five. Obviously my writing style has evolved since then, but I had a few poems featured in the yearbook when I was in 1st grade and have enjoyed writing ever since. I sincerely appreciate your comment!
