TRAPPED INSIDE THE OWN HEARTS

( CYCLE : LOVE TRUE OR NOT TRUE )

Trapped inside their hearts

They don’t know

They can’t love

They are like immature pods

Like cones still on the branches

Like flowers still in the buds

Cherished by fate with hope

 

Listen by stories of flying birds

Caresses the touch of the wind of ewents

Staring at their reflexion in the fog’s drops

They learn to know themselves

 

Trapped inside their hearts

They don’t know

They can’t love

Without ensuring frequent

That they are loved

Do not believe themselves

They want even to die

 

           *****

 

He was standing on the bridge

Over the river of existence

The river of evil and good

He thoughful, lonely, young

Trapped in kis heart, his soul

 

He walked from shore to shore

Again that once more

 

On once shore search of truth

On other shore saw the dreams

Where to live he didn’t know

The bridge was almost his home 

 

Calmed him down of the river sounds

The current of river of evil and good

Once full vortices, calm now

The current river of existence

 

He saw a girl downstairs

Along thr river bank

On of truth the side

Starring at river she there sat

Like him lonely, she softly sang

 

He got off the bridge

Didn’t dare to get too close

He felt that fate had tied

Between them a magic thread

 

In her footsteps he walk began

Of her feet, voice, charm

Her fascinating friends reached out

Like her, alienated, rebelious

With her and them he used to be

On both sides ot the river’s bridge

Like them as searching observer

 

When on the gridge once he was

Abducted him a lady old, great

Lady of wisdom, wealth, fame

Her lover to be him, she made

No longer he was so small, so weak

 

He wanted to show himself a girl

Came together with lady and team

Where girl dance to place

Charmed, enchanted her dance

Didn’t look into each other’s faces

Alreadt they never again meet

 

Together in fiction land lived

Of lady cold whims he endured

He didn’t go again to the bridge

Folloved career’s path by she set

But he still trapped love in his heart

 

He came once to the bridge

When was much older, with his kids

Considered he can love, he wise

But it was his mistake, his dream

 

                  *****

 

A bridge, a river, two shores

Young friend, you have a choice

Free love from your heart

To someone love to offer

From the bridge call, give your hand

Dwel together in the of truth land

You will work, learn, dance, create

Sometime  will visit  maybe land of fiction

As warning, for little inspiration
