Just hours before now
we were landscaped together
my 3 sons null, void
fateful meetings of goodbyes
Solitary confinement
Haven of rest
A quiet tranquil recess
Balmy cove
My Solitary retreat
Hovel where nature calmly unfolds
Resuscitating faint soul
I have a yearning
To break out of confinement
The tortured inside
The painful layers of fiery hate
Breakout of prison, be freed
Russell Sivey
The clock of freedom ticks away, and Anne
acknowledging nearing fate
takes one last look around...

Prisoner of the
cursed phrase
shackled by the terms
Sentenced with each damning
breath
— inmate of what’s heard
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
An ode to silent shouts
Standing alone
Thrust upward
In voiceless violence
Cursing the closure of confinement
A finger
...flipped in frustration
Optimist? Pessimist?
Recognizing the glass as half-cracked
Often explains the level of its contents.
Freedom is being satisfied
With the terms of one’s confinement.
In dusty Karoo towns
Sunday afternoons are
sentences of solitary confinement
Deserted streets
closed doors and windows
No sign of life
One wonders if the rapture
has taken place
Plaguing
my idle moments
Like the wind
blowing off the prison isle
Confinement
becomes my mistress
Trapping each feeling
unsentenced — and alone
(Dreamsleep: August, 2025)
Confinement in
Work..is found
In a dream of
Doing..
Waiting for the
Finishing bell..
But really it is
Waiting for the
End of waiting
Which ended
Already...
Hostage to fortune,
prisoner of time
Trophies a burden,
polished and shined
Greed but a jailer,
freedom denied
Hope in confinement
—wishing a crime
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
Ah Peace,
You disheveled outcast
Hiding in the heart
Of wingless doves
Shivering in cage-less
Confinement
Clinging to a charred
Sunrise
Smoldering
In the madness
Of god-less
Gods

all that's stirring is confinement
briefly I'll enjoy the testament
while I'll embrace the sentiment

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019©
Don't attempt to cram existence
Into the confining cell you've hidden
Your light in imprisoning your
Freest thoughts in a bottle
Opaque and silent
Doubtful and yet
Unquestioning.
Christopher M. Swan 2008
Completeness
May appear
Incomplete..
The incomplete
Already
Complete...
Freedom
Is already
Not confined..
But may appear
As our
Confinement...
Longing
May appear as
The experience
Of wanting...

You can’t beat fate
with the stars in alignment
You can’t beat fate
all your ducks in a row
You can’t beat fate
with your words in confinement
You can’t beat fate
—till you let it all go
(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)
I am on poetry confinement
I can’t go here or there
I am chained to poetry
I only have words to eat
Set me free poetry
I only have time to rhyme left
I am on poetry row
I am getting the poetry chair
I leave my muse to you
forced solitude
compulsory confinement
freedom from the sun
tall walls
large locks
glum guards
the soundless flow of time
yawning years
freedom of thoughtlesness
timed routines
in a timeless atmosphere
feigned freedom
Form:
Truth
a heavy burden
speaking loudest
from exile
The distance
and confinement
like a magnet
to iron
Imploding
within you
when ready
for travel
The weight
of
delivery
— the roar of the lion
(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
Kidnapped by the Muses,
sentence now unknown
Thoughts are held for ransom,
will denied the throne
Kingdom banned in exile,
usurper in control
Welcoming confinement,
—house arrest extolled
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)
from the confinement
of my comfort zone
my thoughts ascend
to meet with yours ~
together we shall achieve

Hard as cut stone, exact and
individual,and alone in solitary confinement
Hear me recite from my 4000+PS anthology on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
catch my short forms @strandpoet on twitter...
read my Christian and Poetry kindle guides on amazon
Suck it, milk it- bleed it dry!
But leave My Heart still untouched
The Fires will rage, and they will die
While I am somber all too much...
The Temples I tread, inside my Head
Searching for a safer place
A Room to dwell outside the Hell
Of my prison's burning Gates
when your absent
life bends to madness
everyone around me
is completely unaware
of the silent scream within me
trying to purge itself
out of it's confinement
if there was such a doorway
to enter my body
all those people who entered
would be deafened
by the scream
