Letter to a prisoner of life
The sweetness of your cell
lures me to forgive
your crime
The nice guard at your cell,
so simple he states
‘temporarily lost in love’
Lost in whatever
I cried and
called for you,
but you didn’t listen
and I will visit no more
So corrupted and free,
you are released into a different world
as I walk from your cell
back to mine
Leaving all plans
to grant you probation
in this one.
Will you hear me whisper
a small word?
„’Goodbye’
answer from a prisoner of life
The sweetness of this life
lures us to reach out
to all its beauties
Inner sensation, outside world
so cruel it states
‘You will lose everyone in life’
lost wherever
there is time
to find again
to sit, enjoy and listen
to visit our lives for ages
So corrupted and free
we are released into one world
to enjoy together
even as we walk apart
Fulfilling plans
to grant us probation
for all committed deeds
‘We have done our deeds’
and have forgiven to celebrate
a small word.
‘friendship’
