Prison

silence surrounds such empty space
no shadows or whispers to take your place

not a ray of light for me to see
or hope in the future to let me be

not a loving embrace
no hand to face...

~~~~~~~~~~

cradled in fetal positions
I ponder my new transitions

alone in darkness I fall
to a cold, harsh prisons call

a prison with no loving embrace,...
no gathering smiles....no hand to face.

God this one hurt, very close to home.
like right in the living room.
a great read kid.

Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Amazing.

This so spoke to me... you are truly gifted in expressing these emotions and torments in a stylistic, simple yet not simplistic, way.

Great piece.

Spitfire -

Oh wow.  This hit me hard because I know that this poem will be an event in my life probably within the next year.  

Your piece shows an original way of expressing yourself in such a way that uses a small amount of words, but really gets your message across.

I agree with Sgreybe.  You really are gifted.  Great work.

 I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

Oh, I think you've made a 'jail-break' ...
you reach out with the poetry from your soul.
Now 'prison' would be -
in your bedroom with NO COMPUTER !

We are only held prisoner by the
shackles we place upon ourselves.
Let the shackles fall away ...
fly beyond the walls on the wings
of your poetic musing.
(a little philosophy of ~*Marge*~)
Love ya'

I know how a bedroom can be a cell, more out of boredom than anything else for me. But I can in some small way relate to the pain in this poem, thanks for sharing, but I believe in rainbows after storms and I look at the silver lining in grey clouds. It took a while to see the world like that. wonderful poem.
