The Heart's Prison

Words hidden upon lips,
from within the depths of the
beating caverns of my soul~
seeking release,
though caged.

It is you who holds the key
to unlock the thoughts
captive in my heart.

Bound from nowhere,
to somewhere,
chains hold the essence
of things untold.
Drifting lazily upon
dreamt winds and soft breezes,
waiting for reality's gusts
to sweep my thoughts to your mind.

Desires of what is unknown
linger deep within a captured spirit,
begging in anxious plea
to be heard.

Listen as the wind blows,
feel what lies inside my being;
fluttering emotions
that no one else can hold.

A willing prisoner I remain
where time and presence clash;
parolled only to love's warden.

Dancing words upon lips
remain untold
until ties are severed,
releasing them to the wind.
