Prisoner Poem by Kostas Lagos

Prisoner

Rating: 5.0


Do you still remember me, she asked

and tried with her eyes to meet his gaze

But he was looking for a window

to see outside, as far as possible

She never understood how her body

a living cell was for him

her long, so much bright, hair

bars that hold him detained

her eyes, with all their colours

locks that without a key

that couldn't break,

her arms and her legs,

weapons of a cruel torturer

If he remembered her, she asked

How can someone forget

his own prison?
