Broken Wings (Free verse) by donmiguel1960
A Dove without wings
Longing for the weightless joy of flight
A Heart deepened, with desire to float in the heavens
Despair, looms, as Hopelessness Consumes
Compromising happiness, a broken heart, without voyage
Feelings of dark clouds on sunny days
Empty thoughts as the content for the soul
Wishing, dreaming, longing for change,
Change not known or understood
A heart crushed, unfulfilled, misconstrued
A glistening sun dawns the morning
Ending the velvet night, begging a new
On the horizon in the sky, a wonder, a beauty unheard of
An anonymity of emotion, enveloped in ecstasy of joy
Virgin feelings of exhilaration, anticipation, uncertainty
Drawing closer, the stranger, glimmers among the clouds
Without effort, without grasp of the splendor she presents
As a divine cherub, reflecting the brilliance of the luminaries
An accent of Art, completing the majesty of the sky
Wholesome beauty, with the coat of bliss, enchantment envelops
She discovers the anguished dove, his helplessness
whose borders of emotion are overcast
from immense haze within he is shattered and gray, throughout
Compelled to care, spirit drawn out, thoughts to share
Empathy, connection, willingness
He captures her flight of courage
Her spirit of virtuousness, the grace of creation
If only his boundaries, if only his heart
His solution has been exposed, revealed, discovered
But how, unattainable, incapable, helpless
Each one is induced to catch the eye of the other
Understanding, bolts between them, for a moment,
They return their imagery of one and other, essence meet
Lives have crossed, touching the heights of glory
Their Pleasure, Delight, and Peace are interminable
But her flight carries on, without pause
She must, unable to ascend, among the heavens alone
Tara has no hold on her, nor place
Her boarders are the heavens themselves
Trapped is the softness of the clouds, for time without end
For she to is a dove, imperfect, incomplete
Her flight is her prison, her confines are the sky
Loving the earth, but unable to rejoice, never stopping
With a picture of all horizon, but only wishing to set eyes on a single
flower
Unable to land, for she is a dove unable to stand
