Best Inmate Poems

how can it be?
how can you suddenly
be so far away from me?
you cant come with me
so I will have to miss you so very badly..
the food trips
the late night talks
your laugh everytime i tripped over something..
your 'your-so-dumb' look eveytime I talk like im out of...

Always,
Do I love you.
Forever, I’ll be there.
Holding you in a tight embrace,
Everlastingly clutching you with care.
As far apart as we may be,
Our souls will stay intertwined.
As one we’ll be,
Always....

It's over, my nightmare has finished,
I no longer feel any pain.
Now I can tell my story in your dreams,
Tell it again and again.

You see, the kid next door had a gun fired,
Fired through his small tender head.
It woke me so I went over to help,
But...

I saw the inmate down on his knees.
I could hear his wondering pleas;

"I'm only an inmate what can I do?
What kind of service can I give you?
I'm here in jail for the crimes I've done.
Who would listen to me, I can't think of one?
Tell me...

I see the majestic, blue sky enveloping
 the barren earth ;
like a thick, blue blanket of flannel ,
 shrouding a quivering baby.

I smell the silent fragrance of rainbow
colored flowers all around ;
as if a valley full of roses, and tulips,
 and petunias has come to...

Oregon Inmate VS Nike

Nike’s been sued for its Air Jordan sneaks
I’m thinking the lawsuit’s a little bit weak
It’s by a young pimp caught beating a “john”
By stomping and kicking him on and on, on
He said that the “john” had skipped out on a client
And he...

Having soaked up two eyes in tears,
one year said in a crying tone,
"Dear,
Adieu! the bell of my departure has rung."

Listening to her moaning, the inmate of the house
Broods over the day when he will also go away like her.

Smearing kajal in eyes, drawing colourful design
on...

37 years I've been held captive by her.
My sweet  of a saviour.
Seized,etched in my weary worn crib,
Both prisoner's
Where strange hands hold the key.

Her family appendages reach out to mine
In a tormented, mechanical embrace.

To be a fly, that loves a day. An hour. 

The tired...

There is a man, locked away.
Shackled, chilled rusty bars, barb-wrapped fences
	apart from his fellow man.
Shunned, unseen and unheard, 
	stigmas of a world unknowing of repentance.
	Of reawakenings and redemptions.
A walnut gavel, robed fist clenched,
	brought down upon the hard top of sacred bench,
Its loud knock—a plank walk...

I'm living life hard knock and it's hard to get by/
I'm trapped in a prisoner state of mind/
Sometimes it's good times sometimes it hits the fan/
I'm just trying to get by, maintain so I can live my life/
I need help, I'm trapped in a prisoner...

A convict Mentality/
Is common sense to someone/
But, uncomprehensible to most/
People get it twisted/
They think an inmate and convict/
Are the same/
But they are not/
Two worlds apart/
An inmate can be anyone/
Who goes to prison/
A convict sets people away from others/
A convict is about business/
In all ways/
No one...

the prisoner is restless.
he is aware of noises.
he hears imaginary footsteps.
he imagines eyes that watch over him in the darkness.
in his mind he makes plans for escape.
escape strategies.
he calculates the hours, studies the minutes.
filled with courage and cowardice.
he does not see that it is already...

Walked in through those gates, the legends foretold/
valley of death? Try a circus of old/
The baddest dude charged, Timber! Came the call/
He fell like a Jenga tower, five stories tall/
A gang rolled up, thinking strength in their mix/
Twenty-five sprawled out, my karate did the tricks/
One...
