Flight or Fight

I wrote this on the eve of  The royal wedding with the Jingle Theme for their following week  Doubts, Fears,  inhibitions and hesitations.




Flight  or Fight 


He watched me intently
As an eagle watches prey 
He kept me close to him,
Frightened I may stray. 


I checked his mobile constantly
Analysing  ghostly texts
I took all his adulation 
Blew it completely out of context!


He dreamed of church bells ringing 
His bride floating down an aisle
Virgin clothed choristers singing                                                                             
Him taking his prize, proving he was virile !


I screamed at night 
I needed love 
I needed to take flight 
Not to be trapped in a cage like a dove 


 I ran and flew 
I needed to find me 
Before I could find you ...
