Short Imprisons Poems

Like a maelstrom it imprisons 
In it’s cast iron grip 
Fighting is futile
Escape impossible...

Doubt imprisons mind

God's truth is hidden from sight 

Faith us liberates!

Out and back,
its motion imprisons
out and back,
on an endless sea

The ocean pulling
 both hard and wide
the tides recalling
—till setting you free

(The New Room: February, 2021)...

When faith is lost in all you know,
and all you love is dead.
We find ourselves without our chains,
but losses, greater than the gains,
imprisons us with all we're shown

What is left when you've lost all faith in Humanity?...

Sit there and think about it 
You are here thinking alone
There is no other judgement
Except that you give yourself

You are your harshest critic
So be gentle and forgive
Say this to yourself often
And move on from
The past which imprisons you.

Body and soul Is the form of being united Spiritually, Physically, and mentally with a
loved one. A chained link that imprisons two hearts together for the survival of both,
together they shall beat, dependent on each other. United will the two stay, together and
forever is body and soul....

Thoughts;
They live in an amazing prison,
That has no cops, no judges and mission.
They know no bounds,
Estranged and constantly growl.
They are locked inside forever,
In the back compartment of the mind.
It imprisons them,
and often keeps them disguised .
Now you know,
How a double faced human brain is designed....

Never wanted to get to the point
Reasons are not deeds
In my rectangle window show
Amazing how after all the years looking through my eye balls
Why dont we see like circles
That rectangle prison that imprisons us all
Look left look right 
look up look down
and see the edges of our prisons
Fortunately im looking from the outside...

He looks into her eyes 
  Twinkling stars above him 
 lift him upon a cloud

 Tiny buds open up
to taste the breath of life
Milk and honey  sugar and spice

Light, tender, fluttering 
 Love imprisons a little heart
as mommy's  kiss lingers on his lips.



 "Give Mommy Some Sugar."

Gloomy's the yard covered with fallen leaves
Winter's coldness comes with winds wet with rains
Lonely souls dread most the lengthy cold nights
A quick-paced life about thin frosts complains
A cocoon imprisons the silkworm tight
Burnt out candles waste their flickering light
The empty house is a daily sad thing
Only the beauty's worshiped in painting...

Listen to poem:

(Another childhood poem.)



Filaments tightly woven,

a chrysalis cradles me,

deflects the dangers;

it is an armored womb,

bright and hard.

Loosely woven,

a web imprisons me;

struggles snare me firmly

in these threads.

What weaves this armor

and this trap?

It is I --

I am the spider,

and the potential

butterfly....

Discordant scissors cuts a ribbon
Pleasure of a man destroys
Nature bows to indiscretion
Reality deceit deploys

With glee, they break the ground
To set an edifice to man’s ambition
Forever ruined with proposition 
Field and flowers sacrificed

Breached to bent insanity
Evolves a place profaned
Glowering graceless vanity
Imprisons the insane...

I go through my day
and wade through my dispair.
I put up a veiled front
for all to see.
But I am only 
lying to myself.
My friends say,
through my eyes,
my book is read.
I have struggled
with this delimma,
a tug of war between
my heart and soul.
Between my heart's desire
and my duty.
How much I want to escape
this stockade that
imprisons my heart.
To be the one
who lies deep within....

I live in places  
  you’ve never seen

And sleep in nightmares
  you’ve never dreamed

I choose in dimensions
  above either or

Beyond the pain
  you can endure

My memory lapses
  in moments freed

But fate imprisons
  all I see

Escape an option, death allowed,
  but only if I’m willing

To marry freedom’s hope denied
   —and damn my soul’s foretelling

(Flagstaff Arizona: February, 2019)...

insistent emphasis
dogmatic views
make for faith
fundamentalistic

specious belief
eristic rigidity
stagnates in a cave
caging spontaneity 

seeking without surrender
clinging to scriptures
imprisons the soul
in a mind trap

repeated affirmations
manifest heart’s aspirations
as a conjured epiphany 
deepening delusion

sans thought who are we
unfettered and unbound
beyond mental concepts 
look for that oh hermit...

Pigs with wings
Woman with no rights

Allah strikes
behead the servants

Who pray tell imprisons children?
King Abdullah, King of chauvinists 

If a King sings his command
Women are dirt less than sand

The kingdom dances
Princesses dream and scream

Of days, where freedom rains
Washing away Saudi perversions

When you visit a Saudi king
I ask you, really, do not bow

Slap the old goat in the face
If dead spit on grave...

In the shadows of Hell House,
Behind a darkened door.
Evil lurks with greedy eyes,
Where the light shines never more.

In search of wayward souls,
To cast in dungeons deep.
Beelzebub imprisons,
Those to face eternal sleep.

Their lust is but his weapon,
Their envy feeds his glee.
Behold the Lord of the Flies,
Growing fat on gluttony.

His will grows ever stronger,
While the weak forever prays.
On their knees in servitude,
Until the end of days....

Icy  f r o z e n  outside,
          idle and listless days.
Idyllic summer  D R E A M S,
           illusions in my mind . . . 
IMMENSE  the walls of snow!
   Imposing  w i n t e r ,  that
          imprisons and inspires . . .
