Love and rapture!

What can a prisoner say about his bars?
When he can't extrapolate an escape…
Ah, I love you, but farewell—hurrah!
O let other I's within, permit my leave.'
Though in heart, I'll stay an outside visitor.
Question what is a key without a lock?
A jail without; walls in small diameter?
Who turns the key to an open-shut door?
A door hinged without walls, ceiling, or floor.
Life then asks what dream-makers are for
'Death answers; love and rapture'
And all that is and is not for Nevermore…

A well constructed poem, Mark, and one that is food for thought.
