Prisoner Lover Poem by Dorsey Baker

She comes to visit him
once a month at the prison
they meet at the window
he is wearing his prison jumpsuit
they can talk
but they cannot touch one another
they'll marry
when he gets out
they vow!
its a two way communication
they seem so much in love
but he is a prisoner
behind prison walls
and she is in the free world
for now physical contact
between them is impossible
but through eye to eye contact
and the reading of serious
love letters
from one another
they claim
to have formed an eternal
bond of love! ! !
