There are no steel bars
except in my mind
or is it my heart

imprisonment
is not so easily defined
upon
this postcard.

Love can steal
those steel bars,
and rip them right off,
unlocking your heart.

Love has a tendency to melt bars with the heat it can generate. **hugs** don't keep your heart locked behind steel bars, my friend, you have too much to share.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

ah, yes, imprisonment cannot be shown on a postcard....it must be "enveloped" and then ripped apart with the strength of steel that comes from writing when you stand and say to yourself.....I will never put down my pen!

just a little philosophy for what it's worth

Read and reread this, felt it Duncan. Succinct and cold, and so alone, I sigh. *Peace.

Ah, you must not let the bars hold you back. They can always bend. Or maybe you need a cake with a file baked in??

Unlock these bars over me
Give me freedom, set me free
Let my heart blood flow well
as my soul departs this cell

Excellent write Duncan..short but right
on point.

Love can magically dissolve those bars.
