Wings of Longing

The crystallized story of a trapped lover

By SalgadoPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

The stove of love.

Within a bottle's prison, a fly confined,

Wings beat against the glass, a desperate plea,

A tale of stove, in solitude entwined.

Romantic dance, its lover in its mind,

Beyond the glass, where freedom beckons free,

Within a bottle's prison, a fly confined.

A symphony of buzz, a love defined,

Against transparent walls, it yearns to be,

A tale of stove, in solitude entwined.

In every futile flight, hopes are assigned,

Escape the vessel, from captivity,

Within a bottle's prison, a fly confined.

The glass, a barrier, its cove maligned,

Yet love persists, defying destiny,

A tale of stove in solitude entwined.

The dance continues, destiny declined,

A tiny heart desires to be free,

Within a bottle's prison, a fly confined,

A tale of stove, in solitude entwined.
