Glass Box

Posted Jul 2, 2010 · 13 lines · 1 critiques

Stuck in my tiny box, surrounded by four glass walls,
Able to see the outside world yet unable to feel anything but the icy, cold hardness against my skin.
Tragic. I smell no fresh cut glass nor spring flowers,
Drowning in my own words, thoughts, dreams.

These words leak out into the world,
A poem, a passage, proof of my existance,
But they are nothing to ease the torrent of ideas drowning my mind.

And once again you break open my box,
unleash the waterfall of words,
Give me air and allow me to add a little life to the outside,
To free the souls and minds of other poets,
To allow them to break out, to speak freely
To save them from drowning in a little glass box.

"A lovely poem. Love the theme. One thing, not so sure about the 'Hun' in the last line. Be careful not to rhyme for the sake of rhyming. Could just be me. Loved the rest though. Xxxx cass"

"I am sorry, but I didn't understand the title. I couldn't find it in my dictionary, so I'm clueless. I liked the rest of the poem, two people needing comfort, in their separate isolation. Good work! Always, Cat"
