Bird Not Followed

Flew, bird flew
over the waterway
and I could not follow,
but oh how I wanted to.

No I could not follow,
but so much I wanted to.
Feet and legs my
ball and chain why
could I not follow you?

My anchor sunken deep
in the depths of the earth
endless waves,
is it wind?
Like the pain
endless waves
as you float on to
where I can’t follow you.

Wet cheeks on dry land,
grew, hurt grew
like the stars and the moon
and in the long night
warm thoughts
of a cold voice.

Your eyes and
your wings and
the things I remember.
The path I could not follow,
and it stings; how I wanted to.
Bird sings; how I wanted you.

I am a marketing consultant and aspiring writer, with a major in English and a minor in history. I have been writing poetry consistently since my senior year of high school and have since published three poetry books and three novels. I have also written several songs and a few short stories. I also wrote and published a trilogy of novels, my Troika book series. I am currently working on a large-scale multi-book fantasy series that I am very excited about! Writing is a part of my every day, and I would have trouble finding meaning or the will to keep going without it.
