Poetic Prison
Incarcerated thoughts scream of
Liberation from dreams
Desires sentenced to be written
Guilty of emotions felt
No longer hidden
Judged by pen held
Witness of the eye
Thoughts become testimonials
Half truths and silver lie
A life sentence passed
On words of romance
Dreams, fears of the past
Prison of the mind holds
Dark secrets of night
Forbidden pleasures
Hidden desires
Tortured dreams
Barred behind what is
What was
What is seen
Jury of the heart casts vote
The soul executes judgment told
Chance for release granted
In written dreams
Freedom arranged
Exonerated on the page.
( Crow Cries)
