Again

Do you feel the pull?
Has it begun to burn within you?
Soon it will start
The howling and the wailing
That uncontrollable urge
Needing to be together
To be bound in flesh
As well as in spirit
You will beg
Crawl on bended knee
Until you bow before me
And the world begins again

Prisoner

I feel the prison closing in

More caged day by day

Pacing the same track over and over

My confinement has yet to begin

But that word to me implies children

The one cage of which I am free

Just imprisoned by my own body

Not really enough to cause fuss

Frustrated and flustered always

Tired, in pain and alone

My prison is not my own making

I still hope to one day be free

Even though I know it’s impossible

I can always hope eternally
