Sing forth a melody thou sweetest of nightingales
For tonight thy master wishes to entertain and play;
And only thy hymn has rights unspoken to make claim,
Of enlightening the tales one may meet upon the way.

Oh to thee, poor nightingale, how sorrow greets your day,
Trapped and bound forever, where thou art always forced to sing?
Bring forth in abundance innocently stolen smiles,
For he this one in ignorance who clipped thy golden wing.

Heed wisdom from within my sweetest, most beloved child,
Thou who would sing as if thee could be in the darkest night.
So as to hear a verse deigned to compliment thy own
Splendid it is to lift thee in the purest of delight.

Dance my beauty beneath an expanse of unnamed stars,
Where thou shall feel sweet dewdrops fall upon thy tender flesh,
While melodies entwine themselves abound forever,
Creating truest love into a finely woven mesh.

I wrote this poem several months ago. It was written for a girl I had 'fallen in love' with at the time. She still to date is in a relationship that you can watch bring her sorrow and lament. Yet, she has become addicted to being treated as such, ignored and miserable. I had hoped someday that she would shake free from her shackles and rise into her own, but alas that has yet to be seen. So I present this poem forth to any caught in a prison they may not see.

oh I don't need any luck with this girl, it is she who needs luck in finding freedom from her own prison. I no longer feel that way towards her, more of a friendship now. She's like that little sister of mine trapped in a prison of her own making.

Emotions are training wheels for greatness, someday you have to cast them aside.

Beautiful! :rose:

If you haven't already, you should read "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," by Maya Angelou. She was the Poet Laureate of the United States a few years back.
