In Poetry

I loved the fight, in poetry first
The freedom word by word, in poetry
Line by line I loved to live
So I loved anger and bliss...
Your bright days,
My optimistic friends,
All, all in poetry.
Whatever Iíve lost...
Everything Iíve found, in poetry.
Is it our love only,
That precedes rhyme,
Thereís also exile,
And imprisonment as well.
