Burdened to Fly

You hold the rushing torrents of gazing downward at my encrypted soul spreading reaching wings that mean to fly. Heavy locks drag down the angel in chains until we tremble to touch. Ripped bare of fortifications that fall incautiously, the unitary puzzle engages in heart-rending ascension. We ebb, reaching no terminus.

I wrote this prose poem as an assignment for school. It was mostly used as a clever way to disguise the true topic.
