Prisoner of Your Love

“All I do is kiss you through the bars

of a rhyme”

           - Mark Knopfler

In this season of loving

where the only thing that changes

is the temperature of the current

I am swept away each time

I catch the rhythm

of your heartbeat.

If I were to break out of this prison

it would be to run with you forever

wild through the impossible stars
that still shine in your eyes

(even at noon!)

- constellations that defy mythology

guiding us through this life

sentence.

for all Lovers

this Valentine's Day 2011
