PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My heart’s a wild wounded bird
Free and untamable, but hurt
One can hold it and try to fix it even
But never call it yours, better start believin’

When exposed to nature’s smell
If only a scent, if only a hint of a silent yell
Gone birdie is
Never to return, forever his

But you can take me for now
Put me in your loving cage so nice and warm
Confuse me with your charm
Still I keep thinking about my bough

Nature found me first
And within him I found my nature
My bird’s been cursed
There’s little sadder but nothing greater

I once belonged there
And I honestly always will
Forever free as a bird in the air
Longing for a happily ever after still

But you may fix my wings and my broken feather
Help me through this stormy weather
You can cuddle me from a safe distance
Know I will show you firm resistance

And when eventually my nature calls out to me
Wants to put me back in his musical tree
Cuddle me warm in his shaky branches
There will no longer be any chances

So you can have me for now
For this one brief moment I will bow
But one day he will sing to me
And in his branches, that’s where I’ll be
Because it’s the only way I know how to be free
