Liberation Poem by Adrian Murphy

I have broken free from the shadows and
Shaken off the icy coldness of a vixen’s spell.
I dream no more of treasured moments from long ago,
Bloodied they lie, obliterated in the carnage of parting.
In a few short weeks my eyes have been opened,
Compassion, care and understanding have restored my desire for life.
Love’s tender shoots bloom gloriously in summers fading rays,
My heart renewed by the zing of love’s fresh promise.
