Upon Broken Wings

To love within my heart gives you freedom

To soar the sky, for happiness beyond

My love an instrument of flight

Wing through daytime and dead of night

This love a pinion like an arm to fly

Catches the strong winds, you glide the blue sky

But a shattered love is a broken feather

And hence, the azure you no longer hover

Before you used to sail the heavens

But now your feathered sails are ruins

And today each foot kisses the earth

For affection in my heart is loathed

To mount the welkin like a climber

With crippled wings you cannot flutter

For elevation is but a mountain

Taking to the air, my dear, is a strain
