Poems for Boyfriend in Jail

Midnight Tears
Moonlight through bars,
Shadowed tears fall,
Lonely hearts yearn,
For love’s recall.
Empty nights, cold,
Dreams fade away,
Silent calls heard,
Where darkness stays.
Letters unsent,
Words left unsaid,
A heart still aches,
In this quiet bed.
Time moves slowly,
Minutes like years,
Missing my love,
In midnight tears.
Hope still lingers,
Love’s gentle flame,
Boyfriend, my heart,
Still calls your name.
