I cannot keep you

I cannot keep you like a bird in a cage!
Sometimes you read poetry to me.
Sometimes you forgive me my sins.
Sometimes you are my life-giving water
Sometimes... only sometimes.
You have so many rules,
I will never learn them all.
You know, I am not an angel,
And I cannot change it.
I cannot keep you like a bird in a cage!
Sometimes you read poetry to me....
Sometimes...

There are many that are free spirit. They pause themselves leaving their scents to blow away later by the wind. Thanks for sharing. SM wave

None of us are Angels. We all have our faults. If anyone is looking for the perfect person - they will be looking the rest of their lives and lose out on other gems.

Good write Lily

Hi. Admittedly, I'm absolutely baffled as to the meaning here. But, that's one reason I like it! Nice to see you write again. Let it be free.

Hi there Lily,

I love these mysterious writes where you leave the reader guessing what the content of the script means. Personally I think this is a prequel to your poem "Last Shadow ".
Nicely written...Good to see you in a positive frame of mind.

Regards Mick.
