The free prisoner
captured by uncertainties
where is your mind strength?

I went to sleep at fourteen
and woke up at forty
A prisoner of reluctance
—casualty of time
(Dreamsleep: July, 2022)

Myeolopathy
has made me its prisoner
until my time’s up.
He sits in the nursing home confined to a wheechair for the rest of his life, still able to think, a prisoner in his own body.
Angelic creature
Imprisoned by your beauty
In chains I hobbled
Spewing darkness from the soul
Cleansing myself to be yours
bidding her farewell,
mist of unsaid confessions
rail track forever
in legs turned heavy anklets
--stationary prisoner--
Hope trumped last
a prisoner of death
A final capitulation
—devil’s ransom beset
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
I knew you would be gone soon, but I wasn't prepared for this prison called sadness.

Hope trumped last…
a prisoner of death
A final capitulation
—devil’s ransom beset
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
I've been in prison for most of my life,
Not man made bars, I'm an abused wife.

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
A pristine pink petticoat prissily pranced priggishly and primly.
A prideful prima donna prisoner of Peggy’s prideful preteen
promenade.
I was meant to soar
your love is smothering slowly killing me
~ won't you set me free

Was that Sphinx head on Mars
Or some prisoner behind bars
Seems like a mutated face
Of a different race
Like human parts in doctor’s jars
Destiny looms despite my luck
its hunger cries and waits
As Vincent ran but couldn’t hide
—a prisoner of fate
(The New Room: July, 2022)
When the mind is held captive
the body is the prisoner.

Allergic
to the truth
Immune
to virtues glow
One infection
plagues my soul
Whose cure
— my sin forgoes
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Senryu
See the eagle fly
Prisoner of its nature
Freedom an illusion
Haiku
Spring, old sparrows die
Fall exhausted down from sky
A nest too many
Oh with her sweet smile
I was taken prisoner,
cry of the castle
shackled to chains of desire
captive hopelessly in love.

Your love has arrested me,
Sentencing me to another life,
Your love has made me a prisoner of hope,
Forever is all I can see.
By: Sabina Nicole
Prisoner of God's creative flamboyance,
I allow the wonders to guide my pen,
I overdose on beauty,
and kneel at the splendor of every sunrise.
I am stuck here in this class, a prisoner but without a crime,
Time slows to a crawl, and day by day we go,
Stuck here in this invisible slime.
A prisoner of the truth
sole inmate of denial
Serving time falsely promised
—paroled in cold exile
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2014)
Prisoner of the
cursed phrase
shackled by the terms
Sentenced with each damning
breath
— inmate of what’s heard
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
