Words!
Imprisoned words
Tries to break free
The lump in the throat stops them
You cannot escape, my friends
The outcome will be too much to bear
The mind hurries after them
No, don’t let yourselves loose
The outcome will be disastrous
The words look around
Catching everyone’s pleading eyes
Suddenly, the heart speaks
Release them, let them free
Happiness writ large on their faces
The words run to freedom
In minutes, they are out as confessions
The heart looks on
Their freedom has done nothing
To reduce its agonizing pain
Smiling sadly, it slowly walks
Into the prison of uncertainity.

Another masterpiece in blank verse. The pain of imprisoned words is indeed, immense. Madam, why don’t you strive to exercise your poetic talents in the form of a book. I am seriously requesting you to look for a publisher. If you want, I can assist you in this endeavour.
