Best Incarceration Poems

there is a sound when you leave
all electricity is lost
all water is dissolved
all air is thinned out
there is a blankness as time passes
all age is tainted
each era is ruined
every period is murky
there is a change when realization comes
what matters drown
what is important suffocates
what is relevant...

Can a man tolerate an incarcerate?

Madly in love with a madwoman

Throughout the investigation; Prior to the incarceration she's reflective

Two years on the verge of being wasted like Iron Maiden single "Wasted Years"

Additional two daughters she conceived not to mention she needs help supporting her two...

I did'nt deserve to watch my mom break down over nerves
I did'nt deserve for nightly my dads sleep to be disturbed
I did'nt deserve for life to be the judge and jury's words
I did'nt deserve prison on this plate that I've been served

I never thought My...

A welter of anxious faces gawks curiously at him,
But by now he is immune to the consternation. 
His effervescent expression glows,
As he swigs down their viscous repulsion.

He knows that they will desecrate his graveyard, 
Punishing him for his denial to be superfluous,
For his denial to...

I served jail time in 2020 alright!
Sleepless were the nights, stuck on to the lights.
My cellmates said Woof Woof, Meh Meh and Meow!


Locked behind bars that opened from the inside,
When the year started I had no idea I was in for this ride.
I served jail...

Distinct so out of reach to be removed
I recall vague in somewhere
the warmth of being held
comfort nurtured to mothers breast
so dependent yet so secure to be there
only the beginning
only innocent eyes opening
they had no perception of fear

I cannot recall when I changed
nor scratch some point...

These are the days 
all have come to know
when there is no turning back
running isn't an option
 The past and future seem to collide
truth will explode in a single action 
fate and faith share a common thread
breathing becomes hard
 Hands shake
visions of fill the mind
incarcerating...

Incarceration Through The Eyes Of Your Child
I dreamt about this particular iceberg for many year's
as a young man,
where in and out of prison I was, for a while.
It was big, big in size

If size was big, like only size could be, only in Florida.
Abandoned in...

There are no allegations that
My birthright is of a monster
Nor is there a pretense that I am beast 
But one of the brutes 
Is hibernating 
In the recess of me beneath 
The etiquette of a queen 
Is to be poised, decent, and unique
But there is a leviathan 
That has aspirations to...

and then the accused fell foul
of yet another condemnation
without trial
the sentence spoken in anger

shards of bloody mosaic
stick to his bare feet
from where she threw
the glass on the tiled floor
punctuating
compartmentalizing 
puncturing an unspoken truth

superficial wounds already closing	
he wraps a bandage around his heart
squeezes tightly to feel...

If continued, the present rate of incarceration
will have one out of every fifteen persons
spending some time of their lives in a prison....

To remain alert....

Self-imprisonment
Is the worst form
Of punishment
Still, it is not out of the norm
To find a tiny bee hummingbird
Ruby Zoom, hidden inside a double-glazed display cabinet
One can think or fathom how absurd
It is to be imprisoned in a knotty net
Conspicuously clear like black ice. And yet
One is...

There are so many trapped
and tortured souls in this 
desolate place.
We are ghosts, screaming for freedom,
darklings, crying for light.
Never sure how to grasp onto
something invisible,
without strangling it.
Even before the cold bars
made of murk and gloom
there was no hope,
only bleakness.
Now "lost'' takes on 
a greater, deeper...
