CAPTIVE BIRD

Folder: 
JOURNAL#31

for want of a better reason

I can not readily say

if by chance I loved you

in a minute

in a moment

or the first full flushed hour

of just any unexpected day

as I do not have the said for sight

to such a power

to claim such a deep heart's attachment

I can only confess

what to me was conveyed

some how you have so sweetly framed me

a better portrait of warm, feeling female

by the mere reflection of your heart's eye

upon my visage and demeanor's subtle display

and to your gentle palm

I remain

A Captive Bird

unready

unable

and yes quite unwilling

to ever fly away............
