No Cage for Thee
The brightness of the light
You see
Is greater than
The you and me
So take these words
Fly high and free
I dare not keep you
Tho tempted as I am
And true
For you would
Surely die
Deprived of sun and moon
My love
And of the sea and sky
You shall never be
A keepsake
Nor must you be contained
I therefore set you free
My love
From cages and all chains...

Excellent Neville
Such emotion in this "I cannot have you if I own you" wonderful poetry
Bravo!
thank you Andrew, you are most kind sir.... and appreciated, of course. .. Neville
Such a tender release would melt the need to fly free methinks - this gem of good reasons to stay in love's chains has love that shines from each line. This one is a fave. to read again. ........ Fay
you are far too kind my lady.. Neville
Not so much kind as truthful dear Sire - - I believe love like you write would keep any female in caged contentment.
there ya go again.. see.. too kind... N
I'm gonna fly then - lemme out! lol.
talk to some one first, before ya jump..... you are an orchid, not a parrot... thank you for alighting upon this page... Neville
Beautiful write, you can never lose what is truly yours, it will always return somehow
nor ever truly miss what you have never had....... bless ya my friend, you are most kind.... Neville
Beautiful separation of possessive romantic love from unconditional love.
If you love the Tiger, then let it be where it can be the tiger you love for within a cage it will not 'Tiger'.
On several re-reads i really do like this and its a definite for my favourites.
you are far too generous DA... I like it though, so I wont complain..... thank you my friend... Neville
I thanks thee for reminding me I am an orchid!
I meant orchitis
Swoon! lol.
Love cannot be possessed, no matter how eloquently we may proclaim it, as done here
those that try, do come a cropper.... thank you for pointing that out ...... Neville
