LOVE Poem: Slave to Love, by Angela Lee

Oh thunder road
the distance between then and now,
there and home
I light a candle and pray
for my old friends
for the sweet bird of desire
to sit next to my loneliness
How many years was I a slave?
looking for a tower
to try my wings
to fall nowhere
I wanted to be a slave to love
but I was a slave to revenge and worry
and so many things
that my childish fingers grasped
and would not let go
What did I worship instead?
What was the worth of all my dreams before now?
I do not remember at all
