Detained Poems | Examples


My Penitentiary

Not once did I note, 
That the circumstances were of my own delineation,
Strapped in chains of my own making,
Entangled in a web of my own creation,
Incarcerated in a volary of my own making,
Now in the air casting castles of liberation,
Which I know too well may never come into being.

Detained

I sought to grow a tree
Of two minds settled to agree
Expected to mature between two and three
Spanning yet at a higher degree. 
For this goal I could crack my sinew and a knee
Yet my success I couldn't guarantee
Cause love is an open door that needs no key
For which many only try and see. 
I was in a cloud of love where I couldn't foresee, 
Losing track of myself, becoming a detainee.
In love I sat in glee
But from this same love, now I flee
Without reason of making a plea. 
However, there is no reason to disagree
That love comes with a fee
And to such, we must conduct willingly
And adhere steadfastly
For life must be a loving spree.

Slain Detained and Loops

Slain Tamed and Loops
 
 
Why must you stare,
So persistent
So arrogant
Without a hand to hold
As I have been pulled in closely
By a summer rose
Knowing how lovely
How lonely
How solid
I tend to be
 
Make my soul quiver
Standing so vulnerable to your every touch.
Watching your body sway from left to right
Lifting lightly a finger to lay your message across my lip
 
Gentle
Warm
Clear
You spoke
As I troubled my steps over murky water
How dare you
Glare and steal my mesmerized eye
So blind to love
And stained with impurities
 
I want more
Every day
I crave your heart
Your mind
Your body
Your soul
I want every single piece of you
 
Reduce me to your mirrors
May I only be a reflection
Of known heartaches
Stolen memories
Graceful whips
And swords of strength
 
What lies inside
A broken glass
Peering to the other side.
I’ve become stifled.
To your sprit
Every time distance is slim
How does this mountain keep me still
difficult to climb
(shakes)
I fall
Yet I wont give up
 
What dying spirit I have
Before I have been wiped away
With the winds of shame
Walking through a door of revolution
And into a dragon rose.

Detained

Chained in place to stagnant stone core
Sapped and wisely chose to then bore
A deep cavernous pit, chastised 
Love and hate have thus baptised till
Freedom is released that's the deal!
Unseen eyes and hands of skill sleight
Traveler's weary and widowed right
Tight, greater bonds than 'mithril' ore!

Rest your head, sigh and then pine
Sweeter than heaven's twine;
Damnation divine serpent
Listen, kill them that were sent
Metaphorically raping 
The heartbeat lonely scraping
Skilled, yet devilish entwine

Serenade, angels song
Unaware mindless throng
Kiss up to get king down
Infinite light shall crown
Cherubs not locked outside
Pearly gates 'pray' for long

Bite the hand that fed
Fed the hand that bit,
Reserved the last seat
Casting off the robe;
Developed a globe

Diminish verse
To hex a curse
God will set right
With holy white light
This detention

Will not stand
Let him go
Rand I stand

With you
For you

Freedom

Detained Faith

Heart in mind confess
Solitude though still so free
Reality ours
