Slaved Love Poem by kalpana shah

I don't know when
you made way to my heart
through windows
You crept in
so tightly I bolted
still I found you deep within
in a corner, you sit
Pleading eyes, begging
A small place
with all love and care

unknowingly, I reciprocated
slowly caressing and loving you,
Wanting you,
Not a will to hurt you
Every time, every moment
Was a love
That we both had shared
Or say enslaving me tight
Days flew, years flew
A dawn of realization grew
It is not the nest
I want but a
A huge sky
I want to fly!
