Freedom Poem by Sadashivan Nair

'O' my mynah,
I love you,
From inside my heart;
Thou recourse to my loneliness;
Heart fills with rupture,
When you whisper;
My poems blend
into your rhythmic tune;
Both inebriate,
In melodious music,
Feel like life of heaven;
Yet you want,
Out of golden cage;
I give nectar,
Fruit and nuts to eat;
None you need fear,
None will come to hurt;
Don't leave me alone,
Breaks my heart;
But stubborn mynah,
Tweeted twee-twee,
twitee-twee;
You may give all,
Yet I feel in thine prison,
I want freedom most;
Want to fly high in sky,
Want to bask in sun;
Am lonely bird,
I too want a pair of mine;
Wander from tree to tree,
In pursuit of dame;
Its my aim
as you humans have;
