From his prison cell,
Under a Birmingham sky:
His heart responded....

Four wall's of Hell
All expectation's die
In a cold prison cell...

I will add a letter every day
to the wall of my prison cell
until the true story of the world is written...

There He lay as cold as ice, 
a darkened tomb His prison cell, 
until the dungeon filled with life 
& saved us from eternal hell....

With a rhythmic spell,
Quasimodo sounds his bell
In his tortured hell,
Esmeralda hears him yell
From his hunchback prison cell....

Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme,
With Charles Manson did roam.
Tried to assassinate President Ford,
A prison cell was her reward.

For Covid-nineteen
Starting there Lockdown in world
Home is prison cell

As if I'm in jail
Boring I'm going to die
Independently!

Face to the wall
I can let my tears flow.
Face to the wall
so my pain doesn't show.

Face to the wall
in this dark prison cell.
Face to the wall
just one step from hell....

In this cold, damp, prison cell
in the belly of the beast.
Innocence is sacrificed
for a great un-holy feast.

I must now forget the man I was
I fought so hard to be.
Or become just one more victim
in this dark and stormy sea....

I tried to hide my sordid past
but it wasn't meant to be.
I tried to live a life of good,
but the past caught up with me.

I hurt you so, yes this I know
and my heart will forever pay.
Now I'm locked here in this prison cell
and the pain won't go away....

Distant and alone, I watch another day rot away.
Endless hours pass, only evident by the ticking clock.
Isolation, once my comfort, now my prison cell.
Irrational fears, the lock, holding me firmly in place.
Still faithful, some day soon my misery must change....

a prison cell for me

with six foot walls a grimy gray
an eight foot ceiling mothen light
today is nothing new
my gruel will come to greet the noon

Into the heavens he flew to escape his fate,
Caged in a prison cell the equivalent of death,
And so he soared above on wings made of wax;
Rising up he threw away all caution to the wind
Until the sun melted his wings, such a sorry end,
Sea awaited him as he plummeted back to earth....

I see the sky 
Through tiny window
Of my souls prison cell
I see beautiful sails
Of heavenly boats
Floating towards the east
Where the sun resides
I dream about boarding
These boats one day
And sail away 
from my 
Soul’s prison
That I have been
Confounded in
By the fears that 
I was not able to overcome...

PEDRO THE PEDDLER. . . 
 
Pedro the peddler always had something to sell
Painted wooden pegs to a nice new bicycle bell 
Here every Tuesday on your door he would knock
Routing in his bag to find some old piece of crock
"Mind all nicked" says Pedro from his prison cell

cast her tonight
and there he kept her very well

alone

in her flat and tight
pumpkin
shell
siren to
men
siren to women
it is not so bad said the oracle
i can survive
this
compact,
man-made
prison cell
and
when i release
my headed snakes
the walls will fall
and they will hear music
as i glide
into the night...

Phil,a hungry brother was given bread
Another to a spring was led,
The third ,a stranger in town
Some welcome meals were found-
Other brothers were less well-endowed-
One, in a prison cell,was cowed,
A fifth,by sickness was dismayed
The last without clothing,he laid-
Adelphos,to each ,a visit made.

Claustrophobic walls

These claustrophobic walls
That grasp and hold me tight 
Destroy my very soul
And end my will to fight
Enclosed I am in loneliness
My mind a silent yell
Age became my jailor 
And my home a prison cell
I hope each day for visitors
I pray that someone calls
But all I see in my final days
Are these claustrophobic walls...

TO SIT IN THIS DIRTY PRISON CELL,
WITH ALL MY THOUGHTS ON YOU MY GIRL,
TO PICTURE YOU SITTING THERE AT HOME,
MAKES ME FEEL SAD AND SO SO ALONE,
I LONG TO HOLD YOU CLOSE AND TIGHT,
AND WOULD LOVE TO BE THERE WITH YOU TONIGHT, 
I LONG TO HOLD YOU BY YOUR HIPS,
AND TO KISS YOUR SOFT TENDER LIPS,
MY DARLING I LOVE YOU,I LOVE YOU SO ,
PLEASE GOD DONT LET THIS LADY EVER GO...

Oh prison cell where I reside
Castle of my wounded pride
I’d ask for help, to be set free
Alas, I hold the only key!
My hand against the bar, the glass
The darkest shadows of my past
I wrote a twisted ugly plot
My Genie’s in a bottle locked 
Stars shoot through the open sky
I make no wish, you wonder why?
Too scared I am, to count to three
And find you staring back at me....

Sing a lullaby
send to sleep a troubled mind
would that I could ease you so
respire cooling air
envelop your burning hate
would that I could quench it thus
offer soothing hand
cup and still that troubled soul
calm your essence racing tide
this will never be
pain you made your prison cell
cannot hear my call my plea

The collapse 

They built an edifice
On a shining hill and
A sandcastle
Here the truth was
Spoken hubristic 
One can say
However, they believed in 
In the illusion
A man came and stepped
On the castle, it crumbled
Lies and shenanigans
Toppled out for all to see
It was just sand. 
The hatred turned to 
The truth-teller
He was called a traitor
Rots in a tiny prison cell....

May we look not to defeat
Bounty laid upon our feet
Seek instead your highest power
Quickly now, its zero hour

A solace for ugly scars
Cut in fear behind jaded bars
Love breaks free our prison cell
Giving peace a place to dwell

Begin by blessing to come awake
With first breath one does take
Admit the beauty for just the day
Bow down, give thanks and pray

Hickory Dickory Dock,
    The mouse hushed up the clock.
     But Cuckoo caught him by his tail,
     Now mouse is serving time in jail.
     Until once more the clock will chime,
     And with both hands, the march of time.
     Then mouse might leave his prison cell,
     However, only time will tell.
     When parole, could be his saviour,
     Quick release, for good behaviour.
