Sentenced wrongly
imprisoned well
The bars a fortress
—where voices dwell
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
black circles
mold spores on prison walls...
spreading day by day!
For Charles Henderson's "Haiku your way" Contest
I am here
in a farm
in the cold
in Yaldabaoth’s charm
waiting for Christ’s arm
I am here
This is a celae poem.
The quicksand of life ever flowing
struggle to be bound within its knowing
liberation lies beyond the illusion controlling
Facebook is like being in prison,
you sit down and waste time,
write on walls,
and get poked by people you don't know.
Father in prison,
kids without discipline;
more fights, alcohol and weed...
mother gone with tough boyfriend:
troubled family.
hotheaded action
a good friend is now deceased
sorrow and regret
alcohol and guns
a deadly combination
prison is for life
There He lay as cold as ice,
a darkened tomb His prison cell,
until the dungeon filled with life
& saved us from eternal hell.
I knew you would be gone soon, but I wasn't prepared for this prison called sadness.

So what
If I left this place
Burned to the ground
Without a trace
Could I go onward then
And finally forget
Being in the pen
bird trapped in a cage,
tough singing, chanting, chirping...
pain never ceases...
addictive liaisons self-made prison
make quiet the heart, hermit
God alone is real

Catching truth in the light
or trapped by the night
The hourglass a prison
—as twilight falls
(Dreamsleep: September, 2022)
With a rhythmic spell,
Quasimodo sounds his bell
In his tortured hell,
Esmeralda hears him yell
From his hunchback prison cell.
We're blinded by fear,
Prisoners of denial,
Our hearts struck by spears,
Forgiveness gone on fatal.
Love's a melody, so *****.
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme,
With Charles Manson did roam.
Tried to assassinate President Ford,
A prison cell was her reward.

There are parakeets
and canaries flying here.
Gone from the pet shop,
they have escaped their prison
and are free to fly the sky.
In my life I broke all the ties
to break out the prison of tight
now that i i held you in my heart
where no one will put us apart
Black-eyed double cross
big trouble inkblot marriage
pick up the peaces?
malevolent storm mistress
beguiled mean streets surrender
I've been in prison for most of my life,
Not man made bars, I'm an abused wife.

Master me in all surfaces
point to history written
rules of selection in whim
await doors still re-open
kinship prison of mankind
The Necessity of Jesus’ Death
He has to die,
To keep the government together, or we will sigh.
I will cry,
Democracy will bye.
One Willie went over the wall
(to avoid the warden and all)
pain quickly arose
within prison clothes
(razor wire snagged on a ball)
Twiddly, twiddly dee
The prisoner sang happily
He was told by his snout
That he had plans to get out
Of prison and he would be free
