Nostalgia
My love’s fictional
Truly once found it.
Fate’s casted its division.

My life’s depiction
Truly once manifested,
Time’s implied its imprisonment.

My world’s real,
Truly once serene,
Mind’s revealed its darkness....

Darkness In Love
I'm a prisoner
For I thought we would last forever 
Stuck in the past 
Darkness imprisonment of my lover 

I want us to be together 
Yet destiny rip us apart 
The reason why it broke my heart 
And made me cry in dark because of love...

Through Trauma Comes Empowerment
I am not inhuman. 

Even though they made me feel that way. 

No- it’s not a tragedy. 

Because I am empowered. 

Through a loss of innocence. 

Through a stint of imprisonment. 

I have escaped. 

Only for them to try and hunt me down again....

Shared Love
She shared her love

He gave her his blessings

And she respected him for this

Released not Imprisoning

Escape not needed

Love he knew, she needed more

Open heart and mind he had,

Vicariously he felt her passion

Everything she shared with him....

Free From Imprisonment
crossing 
threshold 
stepping 
beyond 
closed 
door 
sneaked
through
the small 
creak that
exists 
pushed way 
back inside 
pushed way 
back into the 
room were the 
memories of 
the past reside
in order to unchain
the love from it's 
imprisonment...

A Bird In a Cage
That's what I feel like- a bird
in a cage
Who from imprisonment, is filled
with rage
On the brink of self-destruction; about
to engage
Due to the melodrama of a theatrical
stage
Got Me with grey hair looking a bit beyond
My age
And, contemplating LIFE without ME, turning
the page...

Trial
There is a trial against me,
I have been punished and cannot be appealed
I guess it is severe than “Life imprisonment”
Or a “Capital Punishment”, sins would be pardoned in heaven
A crime neither I am aware of nor shared
Eternal mental torture I have to bear
The verdict passed with my birth...

Premium Member Wrongful Imprisonment
Here I live in darkness
Dreadful fright and fear
Kept from all my fam'ly
And friends that once were near

Why am I imprisoned
What has been my wrong?
Why this dreadful sorrow
Instead of happy song?

Naught has been my trespass
Innocent am I
Robbed of all life's goodness
Condemned in jail to die...

To Resurrect
I try to sleep more.
It's easier that way,
as time slips away.
Allowing me to grow old,
yet remain eternally youthful.
A sort of living death.
As I inch my way towards the awful 
imprisonment called conformity.
As I attempt to resurrect that
which society tries to eliminate
each day of my life....

Entangled By Sudd
Entangled by sudd in the mirky
White Nile river, the helpless water
foul became damned prey, sure to be
eaten by the alligator.
Life fleeting, water rising
to take its victim. 
Struggling to free itself,
constricts it, causing stricter
imprisonment of the sudd.
The alligator finds an easy meal today....

Ode To a Friend
I feel I"ve lost a friend this night.
Released from her imprisonment,she has fled.
No longer a slave to this life,she ascends to a higher plain.
Without the weight of her burden,she becomes as a leaf in the wind,
skittering about care free.
Her laughter filling the air.
Sad that I can no longer hear it....

Wings
oh why , oh why can't caterpillars fly?
for within them theres a butterfly.
why if I could fly and achieve so high,
for my future would change from imprisonment or meet death and die.
so as I ask the question , oh why cant caterpillars fly?
why if it was I , id really try because in a few months my wings will arrive....
