 Barren
 
 On a barren landscape I started.
 As a seedling nature took me in hand
 and I grew and grew.
 
 In full flower my vibrant color was a
 still life masterpiece. I caught the eye
 of man.
 
 The climax of my beauty is a distant,
 faded thing. Time has stripped me
 bare.
 
 Some might think me ugly and say
 I look dead and barren or even carved
 of stone.
 
 When my time here is over and I can
 feel the sun no more.
 
 I will have a certain tranquillity when
 placed in my mother̢۪s arms once again.

He’s a changed manâ€Â¦he’s not the same person he was when he went in. His 12 year old son has never known his dad outside the prison walls. His family has stuck by him throughout his incarceration. He’s been lonely and depressed, but now that we’ve fallen in love, his outlook on life has totally changed. We talk on the phone and write letters almost daily. He’s become a major person in my life, and even though we haven’t physically met yet,  I know him better than any person I’ve ever known. He has about 2 years left to go. He comes from a family of coal miners, which is what he plans to do when he gets out. I will be flying to see him in May. We’re both nervous and scared about actually meeting, but I have no doubt in my mind that he’s my soulmate.

 Does anyone have a pic for this?
 
 "Captured Love"
 
 Though our skin has never met
 our passion relies on more than that.
 Though our eyes have never seen
 the evidence of love will still remain
 
 My heart is bound, not as a chain,
 but as a journey to hopeful days
 The future holds the lock and key
 our love will flourish, when set free.
 
 I feel I know your heart and soul
 I feel mine start to lose control.
 My every thought is set on you
 and the iron that is restricting you.
 
 So, now I wait to be your bride
 and hold you near my heart inside.
 I never knew what dreams were made of
 until I found your captured love.
 
 Jeff

 "Abandoned...or is it?" Part I
 
 Hush, hush goes the night,
 listen close and hear the cry
 of a faint voice calling you
 Warning you,
 don't go inside,
 for evil awaits beyond the door.
 The grass is waving
 like the breath of death
 is lurking near.
 Or is it footsteps passing through?
 A cold chill rushes you like
 a bitter  bite of a frozen wind.
 Your mind is racing
 what to do.
 You laugh in jest and say
 "this old house is just an
 abandoned shell of a home",
 but whispers tell you
 that you are wrong.
 So you go with a deaf ear
 and open the door...
 
 Part II
 
   
 ...hush, hush goes the night
 listen close when you hear the cry
 of a faint plea calling you,
 warning you
 not to go inside.
 For what danger was waiting
 beyond the door,
 now laughs in jest,
 as you lie cold and still
 in your grave.
 If only her whispers
 you would have heeded
 not to enter
 this old abandoned house
 (in your own words)
 Now her footsteps pass over you
 as a haunting dance.
 She is quiet now
 no whispers, no cries
 as you sleep, sleep well.
 She hears the breath of death
 and the message of which it tells,
 for she knows its cry and sting
 all too well.
 
 Jeff

 "The Circle of Life"
 
 The circle of life is so rich and bountiful
 so many different shades and hues
 making a master piece altogether colorful,
 that discrimination cannot refuse.
 
 If we only had a mind set, simple as pencils
 from a box in the creators hand,
 oh what great and marvelous miracles
 we as humanity would learn and understand.

   "True Love"
 
 I long to be a poet,
 words for all my dreams
 everytime I kiss your lips
 they all come true it seems.
 
 I may write a sonnet, with
 the music my heart sings,
 each night I pull you close
 oh what harmony it brings.
 
 I could be a painter,
 your portrait fills my mind,
 I am an artist, a creator
 and your beauty is all I find.
 
 If I were a dancer,
 I would hold you tight and sway,
 move slowly across the floor
 with a tenderness display.
 
 I may just author a novel,
 and tell of romance and fantasy
 or I might simply be the reader
 and imagine passion running free.
 
 Inspired by who you are,
 I desire to be all of the above
 to care for you forever
 and be your only true love.
 
 Jeff
