Free As A Caged Bird

My body hums from his touch.

My heart sings from his gaze.

The stars align when he smiles.

Everything stops when he speaks.

Time goes still when he enters the room.

My restless heart aches for him.

My soul yearns for his touch.

I toss and turn without his warmth.

I’m on fire, burning, burning, burning.

He is the flame.

He is the wildfire ablaze in my soul.

He sets my soul alight,

And watches as I scream and beg for more.

The melody that is his voice, echoes within the halls of my mind.

Rattling against the cage I’m trapped in.

And in his palms, lie the key.

Only he can set me free.
