Eagle's Flight
I had dreamed, of course
I was like a prisoned eagle, held in captivity
Hours spent watching you
Tracing the faint impression of a smile
Huddling close, limbs entwined
Before you taught me of love, the glory, and more
I could never have truly known
never have truly understood
what it meant when two souls become one.
of the rapture, the glorious glow
of love, and more.
Oh, but what a pale comparison!
yearning for the skies, and finally set fee
my bonds thrown off, my wings spread wide,
searching for thermal drafts
to carry me to unparalleled heights.
as you in turn watched me
basking in the blasts of azure
escaping through your slotted lashes.
just before it is engulfed within a wide grin
delighting in the feathery touches
that made me shudder so.
our fears and dreams shared
like treasures between us
I knew then.
before, I could never have truly understood
never known the fiery liquid pain
that I felt as you left me
forever gone.
