Falling Sparrow

written by: Lashaye

Hostage
My words have become
Usurped and enslaved
Within the collective mind
Of user-friendly places
Held for a ransom
Within cyberspaces
Captive within a cloud
of transmittable spaces
Dormant emotions
Sprout like wildfire
All efforts to be free
are in a frenzy
Of release

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

I am an introverted person as most poets are, but my words are loud, bold and expressive like the very beating of my quiet heart.

Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,
would have served as shelter if our ship should sink.

Did a siren with her song lead you so far away from home,
and has that made you forget me?
Have you removed the old tattoos?
Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
