We're blinded by fear,
Prisoners of denial, 
Our hearts struck by spears,
Forgiveness gone on fatal. 
Love's a melody, so queer....

prisoners of their past
criminals of the present
victims of invincible future

Deep within a storm rages on
Anger captivates us all. 

We fear what hides beneath and fear what can be 
Released 

Prisoners of our own pain....

The Prisoners House
Arrested by fear,
   Positioned to become prey,
       The snake takes a jab,
      Paralyzed, immobilized,
       Skillfully demoralized.

Oh reality, 
You may detain my dreams for a while
   
But

Never will you succeed, prisoners them 
To keep!

At Last
Writing the words,
owning the words

Prisoners and Minstrels,
sentences heard

Writing the words,
owning the past

Chains coming off
—freedom at last

Rain Dance
Sunday afternoon brings rain
It dances cold and angry on the walk
We are prisoners uneasy
Pacing a tiny dry cage
Territorial maneuverings 
Obligatory utterances
We dance 
Like the rain
Cold and angry...

Panther-like strength and resolve
Orgasmic vibes slither underfoot
Woman who knows her talents and strengths
Engaging in social scenarios, taking prisoners
Rivals run from her court, trying to save themselves....
