Wings

Who are your wings?

The wings take me away

The wings hold me close

Who are these wings?

Their soft velvet touch

Their strong, sweet smell

Who are these wings?

I find comfort here

Just me and them

Who are these wings I ask again

You are the wings

You are my home

I have found my wings

Now never let go

I don't normally do poems, but these words have been swimming around my head all day.

The wings seem to be a person that feels complete. Very good read. I enjoyed the way you worded your poem.

[Gee]

Bingo,chicken...joking.I think we all can relate to this. The wings of true love, of which I have been embraced by for the last 23 years, are my personal fav. Enjoyed this

[Elizabeth Maguire]

Wow 23 years, that is amazing! Glad you enjoyed the poem

[Diane]

"I don't normally do poems," and DARN that some people prefer the lesser read stories here.
You obvious sport talent in both arenas, and I'll be back because I'm a fan of swimming words that force their way unto paper.

Thanks for sharing this 100/100.

[Elizabeth Maguire]

Thank you so much! I hope next time you return I can produce something worthy of such a glowing review. :)

I love your use of "wings" as an analogy for many things. Some will think of this in the literal way it's written, such as a special person in one's life . . . for me, it's mostly the idea of God & how He lifts me up when I'm damn sure I can't fly. But it can also be any song or poem or flower that launches us into a little stretch of soaring above life's usual pains & frustrations. Good job.

I was going for an open interpretation of what "wings" could mean, so thank you for seeing that. I feel as though God has a major part in someones wings as well. Or could our wings be pieced together from all of these? Just thinking out loud. Anyways, thank you again!

this is a good piece.especially if it was just words stuck in your head that you jotted down. But then again , isnt that what we all do. Good piece

[Elizabeth Maguire]

Yes it is and thank you

[Inject Positivity]

Lovely, I think it has a smooth flow that gives a feeling of peaceful journey in the air with invisible wings... We have some special people in our life who become our wings to take us to that place where we dream of going... Very well done frnd... Keep on writing more and more...

Sincerely

I like the metaphor of “wings.” People can lift us to where we belong. Wait a minute, I think that's a song lyric. Anyway, good poem.

[Elizabeth Maguire]

I didn't realize that was a song lyric, it sounds poetic though. Thank you for the feedback :)

"love Lifts Us to Where We Belong" was the theme song for AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN. It's a romantic movie for guys. Watch it with your boyfriend.

[Elizabeth Maguire]

Haha if I had one. But thank you I will defiantly look into it!
