The mind is bound to thoughts,
And the heart shackle to emotions.
We're chained to multi-moods
Even linked to seductive sensations.

dreams are beings
incarcerated inside of sleep,
and we petition for their freedom as poets.
Close your eyes, build a beautiful world
and bring it back in handcuffs.

He cut some corners when filing his tax
Now poor man is going in for the max
He got nailed
Cant get bailed
Of appeals his lawyers now have stacks

The latest inmate

An apostle of the Lord
Friend & close colleague of Paul,
Proclaiming gospels truths,was no easy call;
Junia,just a lass,Judah was her home,
A martyr for her faith
Whilst incarcerated in Rome.

Ballad
Whenever God
a soul sends down to earth to be incarcerated
tenderly whispers to its ear:
"Forget not how much I love you! "

Even though the door was open
The bird sat in the cage
Content to stay within
The comfort that it knew
It is said that
Iron bars do not a prison make
Yet in this prison I have made
I sit and wait for you

Incarcerated soul in ribcage of slaughtered fate
Obsessive saw penetrates secret catacombs of meltdowns
Poetic seascape showing radiations of a human skull -
A cranial Kabuki Mask spreads uncertainty over the Pacific...

Ima Risk a flim-flam man,
Was always looking for a scam,
Selling his useless diet pills
And passing phony money bills,
Until a judge incarcerated his can.
alternate last line: Until a judge incarcerated his can in the can.

Limerick
With her perfect body and nimble mind
Pleasure she brought when you desired her time
But all too soon pleasure turned to love, and like an incarcerated dove longing to be free, she left without a word
Just a pleasurable waste of time

Vanity and pride are my prison
Inhibitions bind and trap my desires
Relentlessly striving for perfection
Greatness eludes my every move
Outwardly concealing my inner turmoil

Not once did I note,
That the circumstances were of my own delineation,
Strapped in chains of my own making,
Entangled in a web of my own creation,
Incarcerated in a volary of my own making,
Now in the air casting castles of liberation,
Which I know too well may never come into being.

I
She was a prophetess
Dealing with vision, words
Then came political correctness
Some tongues are incarcerated
II
Have you paid (absurd)
For your every word
Some want you "wrong"
Others say, "Go along"
III
Dr. King used diction
Minus hate, violent action
So did Diedrich Bonhoeffer
What would you offer?

Been incarcerated in a house;
Displeased in surrounding clout;
Walls sadden painted windows covered in 50's paint;
Ridiculed and stagnated
Accustomed to be alienated
I walk outside still alive vertical choice
I received my voice
Contemplating
Residue survival

Blissful ignorance
A vacuous affair
Mind numbing atrophy
Life without a care
Cloud dwelling dreams
Of a world less realized
The pyramid schemes
Of a world materialized
Land of the free
Home of the incarcerated
The money wheel keeps turning
Our debt exacerbated
Before it's too late
Do what you can
To save what's left
Of this common man

Verse
she was worried they would go with Daddy
they liked him the best, both Beau and Addie
She poisoned husband before he went to bed.
I did not do it, this lying wife often said.
Beau and Addie were sure it was their mother.
Told the police, it could have been no other.
She is incarcerated for the rest of her life.
No visitors either, for a murderous wife.

Incarcerated in a prison of one’s tortured and twisted mind
Is worse than any physical chamber that you could find.
Languishing in an existence that fades in and out of reality
With only turmoil and a total deficiency of tranquility.
Fortunately as your mind decays and deteriorates into the void
You embrace the phenomena that most people try to avoid.

Dramatic Monologue
EXTRA EXTRA
Contextual Comrades Incarcerated,
Victims of vitriols vexation
denied the rights of their inquisitors.
Censored by the voices of shame
guilt and hubris masquerading
as righteous indignation.
Virtue’s vanity
shouting from the “bully” pulpit
concerned only with its own reflection
“gutturally” genuflecting
before a muted “god”.

A prisoner
of sentience
escape
self-denial
Incarcerated
deep inside
with voices
dark and vile
A prisoner
of every thought
his mind
a burning feast
The moments that
protected him
before
protect him least
A prisoner
of déjà vu
where now
and then conspire
His name convicted
to the flames
all dreams
— within the fire

Once more
Came to see the light of the night
then just to
melt in the shadow of the dayshine.
The summer moves on
and so do you
leaving behind nothing
but the event horizon.
No light can escape from here
remaining captured,
like a caged skylark,
being lingering frozen
like the vacuity of space;
incarcerated by the radiation of dying stars
out of the lightning source of my true glare.

(A dedication)
Pain wracked torture
She suffered
with degradition smeared
was inhumanely beaten and batted
and consistently incarcerated
she stoically endured
All for her love
of her land
Her persistence
was not in vain
through her efforts
Kenya's green belt grew
over forty-million
trees were planted
all through her motivational strive
Mother Wangari Maathai's
inspiration lives and thrives
Yet still to this day.

Incarcerated Thoughts
Written: by Miracle Man
1-17-2020
Thoughts wear my brand while Incarcerated,
until spoken by tongue or printed in ink.
While I may think they’re five star rated,
others have the option of thinking they stink.
Many times, thoughts seem to come with ease,
others arrive quickly and in like manner scatter.
Perhaps some are intended to other thoughts tease,
those finding my paper are all that will matter.

Lyric
I am the incarcerated bird wanting freedom
The one thing my soul was taken from
I am the mourners of lost loved ones
Whether it was a father or a son
I am the ones without a voice
Given the option but not a choice
I am the ones who scream in silence
The ones accused but committed no violence
I am the ones who have fallen from grace
The ones who will vanish without a trace
I am the ones who have found peace and serenity
I am that incarcerated bird who will be set free
