Thank You For Loving Me Poem by RIC BASTASA

honey thank you for loving me
you love me for what i am

look at my hands, i am bound
look at my feet, they are bound too
look at my body, bound to the strongest pillar
that mankind has built for all its men
look at my tongue, itis hidden
my mouth, i am shut

you come closer to me and touch me
you give me water you give me bread
you give me hope and will not own me
you kiss me and you do not say goodbye

i am bound, i am not free, and yet you still love me.
thank you my dear for kissing me in my prison cell.
