Full Moon

tonight
the full moon's light
pale light - oh golden light!
casts small pale shadows here upon
the earth

On Love

love is
love always was
and love shall ever be
the most important thing in life
to me

Time

the days
the weeks go past
as I sit in my cell
and write my poems of better days
to come

Question

oh life!
oh fruitless life!
where does the answer lie
that will unlock the gates of joy
for me?

Prison

'stone walls
and iron bars
do not a prison make'
this I have heard but I must say
they help!

I Am

I am.
I know I am.
At least I think I am.
But what if I am wrong and I
am not?

Hey You!

Hey you!
Are you the one
I've waited for so long?
Can it now be that you are here
at last?

Get Down

Get down,
the jam is on,
hot music fills the air
and to that driving beat my legs
must dance.
