Key

All I gotta do Is die For those wings To set And fly Skirt The lows of time Before I am asked Again To dine And If I were An Albatross Sailors of yore Would call And point Smile upon my path Rejoice In the omen Of my presence Before The wind picks up And I Fade Into cloud an time Where we are But memories Imprinted upon A verse That slowly spins Around That void Death You are not My curse Just my jailers Key

Deep poem Dominic, and it could have so many meanings.. I hope you can break free.

I am glad you see more than one meaning, which is the effect i was looking for. The poem isn't about me. Some times i am presented with just one line , in this case the opening line and after that, on meditating the lines just flow. Sometimes it works well. Others not so well. But i try, to get an emotional response. Thanks for your comment. Kind regards and happy writing.
