Nightingale

by nouriguess   Jun 28, 2012


I saw him a broken nightingale
with sparkleless eyes and sparkleless
movements and I fixed his wings,
hugged them together
I used to dab him with my hands
and I felt there is softness in
between.

But he flew away from my
cadence, left my fingers with
wonderment and nature broke
in my eyes.

I saw him a lust, a love, a kiss
but he flew away from my
cadence.

Away from my
cadence.

    Aww, thats is so sad but so beautiful. I loved the repitition of " away from my cadence" this worked really well and stressed the point that after all you done for him, he left.

    Nice work.

    Oh such sadness :( I love the image that you have here of mending a broken bird but then the bird leaving you. You may not be talking about a literal bird but the metaphor is awesome.

    LOVED IT!!!
