Ode from inside a jail

Post by shakespear »

Ode from inside a jail

How could I live in that miserable jail?
Bad food, bad drink and even the smell was bad.
Criminals, robbers, perverts . .were all pale
All seemed tired or miserable or sad.
……………………………………………………………….
I used to look into your dreamy eyes,
Look at the sky to see the shinning moon,
To see radiant stars, in large or small size.
Thence I wondered, “ Can I see your eyes soon?” ……………………………………………………………….
Your phantom’s coming to me every time,
Stand by me, I wished to hug ‘t tightly.
On the walls of the jail, I carved my rhyme,
By that dim lamp, I could see it slightly.
……………………………………………………………….
Drops of my blood flowed on the jail’s ground.
A needle incised your name on my tired chest.
I had shouted at the top of my sound,
“ Like you, where can I find? In east or west?
……………………………………………………………….
On the walls, there is a motto “ Oh brother . .
Read my kind advice! To you I’m loyal . .
No doubt, every flower will soon wither
But the sweet memory will stay immortal.


Have nice time

i am an English literature graduate. yet, i thought this poem belongs to Shakespeare. plz mention your real name here. its a crime for a person like you to be nameless. i want to put it on my Facebook page, so i wouldn't put it without your name.

hello
i tried to write but i can't , i know that i have something to write about but i can't now ...y??????? i don't know y ? may be its koz of not holding the pen. poems inside our souls are like volvano, u can't excite it unless magma and melted things inside it boil, in that time the volcano excite and its magma will flow , our soul is like the volcano and the poems are like this magma so we have not to oblige our selves to write a poem.
thnx and have lovely times

hi again/

as u said everyone uses sth different to cure self...may b one of us wana escape to uncertain place just to forget the problem....some use religion to dive in worshipping and adoration, to get patience for facing that problem...for me i preter the last one...i mean worshipping...

in that time, i just had got out from my nightmare and i dont know now why i refuged that time to the place under my pillow....may be i was afraid of sth..a bomb or snake or a ghost or some thing else....may be i wanted to become armed against any probable danger so i turned my pollow looking for a gun or a knife or any weapon perhaps i might find there....

these are my thoughts ...may be i'm wrong and i've 2 face my problems once and twice..more and more....till i used to live peacefully....
any way thanks 4 ur interest and hope u nice time....
have nice moments u and all my friends...
good luck

I am sorry, you seem so sad.

How can I help you... maybe telling you that under your pillow you can find only your pyjama or some money that the tooth fairy left for you... but probably this cannot cheer you up.

I wish you all the best, ciao.
