Captive Heart

by Innocent Fairy   May 24, 2012


I am held captive
by the very dreams
that taunt my sleep.

My caged heart
lingering for the real thing
as I crave and yearn
a desiring touch.

I'm lost in a disguise
of movies and books
that behold fantasies.

My dreams unmask
the desires of my heart
that have been bound.

Silenced!
through the fabric of time.

Can my dreams
be the very fantasies seen,
can they become the real thing?

Life as we know it
can not be that kind
but with faith...

With faith and time
we'll find a way.

    "I am held captive

    --I like the imagery here. I'm just wondering what about the specific dream here that bother your sleep?

    "My caged heart
    lingering for the real thing
    as I crave and yearn
    a desiring touch."

    --I like the way you used "caged heart" but a little confused about the things lingering the persona--hmm, it's about the desiring touch? I like the way you put something suspense in this part, lol. Great.

    "I'm lost in a disguise
    of movies and books
    that behold fantasies."

    --This part is straightforward, the simplicity of words made the readers know what the persona tells about. Maybe, it's better to remove "a" in the first line to read the flow better.

    "My dreams unmask
    the desires of my heart
    that have been bound."

    Silenced!
    through the fabric of time.

    --Good imagery.

    Can my dreams

    --Good ending part. Enjoyable piece. Greatly done. Keep writing more:))
