wounded bird (extract)

[Crazy Horse]

When the horse that you ride has no hold or no mane
And the forces of nature
Bring teaching and pain
In the sweet, sweet November rain
When your empire is over
And its fallen from grace
When your beauty gives in
To the lines on your face
That?s the day you become
the wounded bird

 

[zooropamanda]

i love that opening line
and the next 2 actually

yeah thats really good

wounded bird...

 

[BabyGrace]

When your empire is over
And its fallen from grace
When your beauty gives in
To the lines on your face
That?s the day you become
the wounded bird

is this an extract from a poem you wrote? the last line really left me wanting to hear more...
I like it a lot though! and yes, the first line is great too

 

[foray]

When your empire is over

transforms the poem, for me. Makes me think of Helen of Troy.
