Lifetime Sentence

Lifetime Sentence

For I'm a prisoner,
who does well in a cell

My mind accompanied
close personal acquaintances
with selves hell.

I can weather the storm
and wrong the ship

Yet never, my kindred soul
opening doors, finds.....
something right with this.

If I were book
bound by covers

Risk, and look
what lover discovers....

Lonerism bubbled voyeur
Surrounded by parasitic care

Freely giving blood
too many shades of love,
keeps me unaware
that I'm selfless to share;

So to are the voices
attached upon multiple moods

Centered thru dark and light
lulled by ominous tunes,

Their stories, maybe wild
wondrous and true

All very creative,
though...couldn't imagine you.

I hate the way
they stretch the week

The masses question sanity
as if for some reason
we'd nothing left
in our boring repetition
but to signal defeat,

Sure, my laughters demented
in no need of ammunition

If the sentence, artificially up
would be of my own volition

Than contradiction be
the death of this write

Giving no meaning~limitations
and why we fight for life.

For I'm a good prisoner
to myself a slave,

Speaking out in words
of freedom
through voices unheard
Scared to act on reason
or accept what's deserved....
trapped, in remainders day

A heroine breaks barriers and walls......
pries thru mind, there to stay.

Wow T, a totem pole....I like that lol. I thought it was a bit cheesy at certain parts of this but iam a harsh critic especially to my own work, but that is what I enjoy when someone can spot the positives that I don't realize. Hey brother, always striving for that difference to keep me from insanity. I don't even want to ramble about beating myself over the ending which im not in love with but there is a significant reason for it.....oh well for now. Appreciate the comment my friend very much thanks, and anytime man just shoot me a message or text.....im actually going to send you something see what you think. Peace big bro.

My Brother Poet Devon,

Sorry I'm a little late with my response to this brilliant write.

Imprisoned in his inner self
Leather bound like books on shelves
The novel that his life portrays
Loves' vacillation on him heavy lays

His Chivalry is out of date
For "Bad Boys" now a female sates
But his innocence soon comes to light
Pardoned fast, no need to fight

Now outside the "Walls of Him"
He acts upon another whim
A heroine now comes his way
Me thinks this time, she's there to stay

Peace and Love,
Larry xxx

My Dear Brother Devon,

My cool comments, are but merely the result of the freaking great poems that inspire them.  I have developed a coterie of brilliant artists, you among them, whose works move me to respond in poetic form.  I love losing myself in their brilliance.  

Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
