I captured an angel
I plucked her feathers
I made her human
I made me a crown
I stare at her clean backside
I trace my hand along her spine
I told her to wear the crown
She refused
So I did
it was uncomfortable and I took it off
I took out a feather
brush it across my chest
bumps rise in pleasure
I brush her arm
Her skin stays smooth
I stick it in her hair
I pull it back out
and watch it fall to the ground

Poetry: Captured
by Summer Cole
Captured
In this life behind these walls I am captured
Living breathing in a place behind these bars
Destined to to do
Destined
by Jon Coe
"Click, click," I've got you in my unrelenting line of vision
"Bang," I've just shot an image of your very next decision
by Moeze Lalji
Captured
By a lion
The army of
Wars
In the human
Jungle
The teeth bite
The prisoner of
Meat and bones
Ripped
For their daily
Bread
The
Closing in
These walls
Have me pinned
To the floor
Captured again
By a life full of pain
And boredom.
But you could have walked
I was captured
The moment we met.
That twinkle in your eyes
When your gaze caught mine
Was all it took
For you to claim my heart.
