petite delight angels
your light is magnificent
like bedtime story wrapped in lullaby
but inside the glass cage
of countless days imprisoned
freedom then perished, broken over time
wings start to fall, consumed
and pain is beyond mended
no longer a bewitching dancing lights
the soul at last conclude
that time has been suspended
old lullaby will soon exit the night

Beautiful, poignant poem Erlyn! It was a fairytale gone wrong. The ending made me sad as no one should suffer for the gift they have.
Thanks for joining in with this lovely poem

Indeed, Sadje. Just a different take of the image I guess. I thought I went the opposite way, although the image is actually giving me a warm, peaceful feeling.

All these funky poetry types with all those complex lines and syllables and stuff far too complex for me. If I can rhyme the last word in a couple of sentences that’s about as poetic as I can get. You made a beautiful poignant job with this one, well done!

LOL…I know exactly what you mean. On some days I felt like taking the challenge to try new funky type, but I admit it took a certain mood and a long time to finish one. I look at it like a puzzle. And then on some days I felt like not wanting to be caged in rules. It depends on the mood I guess. Thank you for visiting. 😊
