love lessons

I have learnt not to love
Not with the mind nor with the heart
for when the pain comes
it comes to last

love I have learnt
does not fade away
it lingers, and tags
strangely and heavily
at the soul
till you begin to moan

love i now know
colours the world
for I still love
and my heart still creeks
for she that I still need

I AM A BIRD

i am a bird
flightless I may be
But I am a bird
Flapping my wings
At these fleeting dreams

I am a bird
Ready to sore
Take in the sights
dance in the lights
And enjoy the times

I am a bird
free and flying
Even when caged
I AM FREE
Flying across the sea
