The Crystal Prison

The Crystal Prison
Twenty-Seven Love Poems

by David N. Muxo

In the room A Coward's Lament I am the waiting page

As if to speed my slow decay How quiet this room seems Her tiny hand

Sitting in this lonely rocking chair The Postcard from Berlin I walk along the beach again

Like lovers It is the quiet time Come

And Love? The Telegram How sad

I remember Buried under the wall When I look into your eyes

In my loneliness I Think of You Come sit with me

If I could only be like Bogie How carefully To find a friend

Your smile Sister of the moon Twilight

In the room	A Coward's Lament	I am the waiting page
As if to speed my slow decay	How quiet this room seems	Her tiny hand
Sitting in this lonely rocking chair	The Postcard from Berlin	I walk along the beach again
Like lovers	It is the quiet time	Come
And Love?	The Telegram	How sad
I remember	Buried under the wall	When I look into your eyes
In my loneliness	I Think of You	Come sit with me
If I could only be like Bogie	How carefully	To find a friend
Your smile	Sister of the moon	Twilight
