Prisoner of Poetry - Mar 22

My bars the words, the prison guard my verse,
Rattling the staves of this poetic cell,
I struggle vainly, locked up in this jail. 
Yea, thus is my predicament, my curse.

Oh, how jealously, you smirking blank verse,
I look upon what freedom guides your quill;
For formal phrasing does of me compel
Stubborn structures—the styles which I rehearse. 

But, boldy

Diary of a Hot-Blooded Woman

Society sure has a lot to say 
on how middle-aged women should behave. 
Who dares to sanction that fire still alive inside?
In this her fiftieth year, she curses her sex-drive.
For she has prayed for years for someone to love,
Imposed voluntary abstinence to honour the Man above.
Perhaps, she shall marry at sixty-five
Until then, the fight continues

Second Skein

First boost given by childhood privilege
Level defined by class, income 
Indicate potential, an esteemed image
Gains permit exclusive decorum
Height obtained owes society's support
Top promotion opens rosy resort

Tariff emphasis applies gradual gravity
Wherewithal relies on deals won
Obligated to uphold palpable authority

Freedom creeps halting, a lizard
Lured from dimness, limbs doused in sun
Impulse to replenish is permission
Granted by spider vagabond

Restriction

Restriction, restriction
The world is getting mad, and the police patrol cruises the street
if you are caught without a mask heavy fine awaits.
I see some schools are open, but some are not, there has been an outbreak
of the pest in some of them.
Happy days for parents whose children are at school it is good
to be rid

Dream Restriction

I had a lovely dream 
milkshakes and ice-cream 
lying on a a beach 
sipping on soda stream 

alas... to my dispare 
it became a nightmare 
chased up from my deck chair 
and told I was'nt welcome there 

thats when I saw the sign 
WHITES ONLY is what it read
I thought the beach was mine 
given

Restriction

Have you ever lost yourself in a mist,
that surrounds so close you can't see your fist,
when everywhere you look there's fog to be found,
a reality where gravity weighs you down.

When every single breath you breathe feeds and grows a hate,
forming from feeling too heavy to move co-ordinates.
Like a dream trying to move but staying stationary,
going

Freedom of Restriction

Deflected, crushed by the social retardation, 
Not loved, ‘cos he’s altogether unaccepting, 
Active learning the robot’s mouth action, 
So he can't contextualise, there’s no blessing.

Neither me nor him meet and we sweep by, 
There’s no connection from his ANDs and ORs,  
Only citadels to weather the reactive cry, 
When my nouns are pocketed by

The Word

I was born in Utah
Not in a state of Sin
but preachers were insistent
Sin was the State I'm in

I lay down exhausted
From hearing what they said
And I thank God Almighty
They can rest assured I'm dead

I know that they will follow me
(After a little more sin)
But Jesus has informed me
Saint Peter won't let them in
