Joe Flach Poet Rhyme

Prisoners of My Mind

My eyes today cry tears of sorrow
Foreshadowing a future of sad tomorrows
A single rose placed on a wooden box
Between Bible pages are pressed some locks

Memories of a first shared kiss
Three small words that I'm sure to miss
Are all there is that is left behind
Which always will be prisoners of my mind

Maygin Creekmore September 6, 2012 at 10:00 AM This poem is well-written and conveys feelings of loss that I'm sure many people can relate to. A lot of people have lost loved ones and a lot of people cherish the words and moments shared with their lost loved ones. I like this poem :) Thank you for sharing it.
