If Walls Could Talk

Sentenced wrongly
  imprisoned well

The bars a fortress
  —where voices dwell

Premium Member A Secret

Imprisoned anxiety
A hefty encumbrance
You either shake it off, or...
be crushed under it

Angel's Prisoner

Angelic creature
Imprisoned by your beauty
In chains I hobbled
Spewing darkness from the soul
Cleansing myself to be yours

Child of Night

The gray dawn baptized,
 —a child of night

Salvation hostage,
 —imprisoned light

Imprisoned,  beaten, chained

Premium Member Imprisoned Heart

Sustainer of Life 
Imprisoned within a jail
House made out of bone—
When lying still I hear you
Pounding on your captor’s wall
Form: Tanka

Thought

A dream visions
captured
in the capsules
of the brushes,
the painter sets them free.
Anything can't be imprisoned,
if once born...

Walls Have Two Sides

Walling off the bad
You've self-imprisoned your heart
From reaching the good;
Hope you understand life now,
It's imperfect just like us
Form: Tanka

This Is Not Life

Imprisoned by limitations
Delayed by fear
Bound by contracts
In servitude of the dollar
Grueling
Not fair
No acceptance
This is not life

Divine breath in me why have Thee imprisoned Thyself within the walls of the temporal?

Premium Member Self-Imprisoned

It is just another little solitary prison,
Containing everything of which I am as a person.
Seems I am meant to be alone without any visitation.

Premium Member A Daring Voice Inside Me

There’s a daring voice inside me 
  clutching the iron bars of my throat

It yearns to speak the truth my eyes see
  Imprisoned, though, silenced its vote

What Price Freedom?

Lodged in oyster shell, irritating grain of sand, grows pearl of great price. Being beautiful, and imprisoned in dark shell, it longs to be free.

Premium Member The Octogenarian's Crime

The old man flirted with barmaid- Marie
When she charged him of rape, felt no fury
Feeling proud, pleaded guilty
He wanted no pity
Sad, he was imprisoned for perjury

Premium Member School In the 60's

School used to be my awful place.
Some teachers did not understand.
Kinesthetic child moves
New ideas okay
The best practices
Was the Sixties
Imprisoned
School
Cell

That conniving bird Tweety Pie Hoodwinked me and told me a lie Said I’d take centre stage If I crept in his cage Imprisoned, I’m here till I die!

Dreams Forgotten

Whispers before me,
echoes behind

Voices portending,
words to remind

Sleepless imprisoned,
nights linger on

Shadows approaching
—memory gone

(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)

Ships

She launched one-hundred ships,

She quenched the thirst of men’s souls,

She imprisoned hearts with a single look,

Yet, you grow brighter than her with every stolen glance.

Circus

CIRCUS 


Exiled from native homes
Slave creatures imprisoned, 
Forced to do tricks,
Tightrope lions, clapping seals.
Elixir of grotesque clown disguises  
Drab animal lives.

Cast Away Shyness

Afraid, Buts, Cautious
Destroys Everything, Failure?
God? Happiness? Imprisoned
Jackass? Killer, Life?
Monotonous, Nothing? 

Options, Power, Quest!
Understanding, Voice! Witness

This year, life's essential missions are missed- imprisoned neath rules and masks.

Our bodies against our souls ll

Our souls want to stay
Our bodies want to leave and receive new love, exploring a new world. 

And if one day we feel imprisoned by the whole world, return to our never-separated souls.

Imprisoned glass

Hard water waiting for Spring

Flee from Winter's grasp.

Santa Muerte

Let me out of my bony cage, where 
I`m imprisoned, filled with rage

Let me out of this mind, don`t mind
If you lose it for me, be so kind

Let me cut the silver cord
Hurry with your flaming sword
