Gold bars
Fill my heart
And weigh it down
As if it were lead

These songs I sing
And poems I bring
Aren’t long at all
If deciphered correctly

However I know
What only one person
Could ever hold
Deep inside their love

And this one person
Is me holding
Some one dear to me
Inside my heart

Through the warmth
Of spring’s sunshine
And cool winds of
Fall’s weather

Only I know who
It is I love
So much inside
My prison heart
