Poetry Devoted To A Dear Friend I Had Lost To A Jail
One so dear to my heart,
One so close In my mind,
One so far from my touch.

The one I most wish to embrace
To hear, but not through a muffled phone
To love, and to care for, and to help keep safe
But I can’t do all those things,
Because he is safe.

Confined by those steel bars of resent,
Links of his past,
And the unspoken choice of solitaire to freedom
All I can do, is continue to love,
Keep dear to my heart,
Continue to think of, to keep close in my mind,
And continue to speak to,
Soft words reassurance
That he… is the one for whom I yearn most
