spidery light behind stained window
unreachable by hands such as mine
for glass disrupts even flow of air
that would carry his voice to me
how stale this large room
filtered with a far away light
that listens to peels of leaves
between loud gong of bells
lead should give it away
this is a prison that holds heart hostage

Loverly poem. It still sounded great even though you couldn't use basic words like "I" and "Am."
I appreciate you following the rules, too.
