Inmate Poetry

To love is to share life together, to work side-by-side, and smile with pride, to help and encourage with smiles and sincere words of praise, sharing laughter and tears.

Throughout the years there’s no definition nor any limit, beginning or end, to how special that person is.

Inhale the beach
and see me there
with you as I do,
just after the glow
is shuttered and
the finishing touches
are put on the day
    
Last night you wore
a blue sundress – only
Trailing you, following
with my eyes...

There’s nothing wrong with being honest about feeling overwhelmed. We’ve all felt like that before. Don’t go through it alone, don’t isolate yourself, let people in to help. You really want to be loved or are you just set on proving you’re strong? The ones who really love you aren’t judging your...

We are blessed
We don’t need to count our blessings
Because we will run out of fingers
We are lucky people
The universe will make two lovers
Out of strangers
A female and our family
Is all the people we want to see
We don’t stress over paper
...

I drown in the sound wave
Each frequency takes me higher
It sours through my soul
Until I breathe its beat
The lyrics string through my vision
Captivating
My every thought

Once The Mask Is Off

The mask I wear, to hide this pain and fear,

inside I cry, tear after tear.

This guard stays up, day after day,

my face is hidden, as I continue to fade away.

I run, from how I feel,

this suffer within, is all so...

I’m from East Phoenix, you can tell how I talk,
An I gotta lil bop every time that I walk.
She got the Lovis shoes with the suede on the tip,
With the Seven skinny jeans, lookin fly as a jet.
This Gucci boy fresh, drippin all in the pen,
The first time she wrote she...

Have you ever seen the sunshine from a lonely prison cell, or felt so alone inside, but had no one to tell?

Everyone says they miss you and wish that you were there, but deep down inside you know they just don’t care.

You see the same ole mail man as he greets a hundred men, but...

"Snowfall"

So, if this is temporary, then where do I go from here?
As I watch the snow start to fall, only means it’s the end of another year.
I sit here and think to myself that the next few years aren’t going to be easy.
Now that I got a chance to think about how out...

Soul Of A Winner

I always believe I'll win

through and through,

I'm the same, beginning until the end.

even the ending has a beginning.

As I begin to devolve for you who I am,

I revolve,

I evolve so new a Spirit,

Can you feel my...

“Anticipation”
By Me – Richie P.

Every time I step outside
I look at the sky as a place I may
Someday physically reside.

Blind to science, my mind
Slides against the grains of the toughest grinds
High hopes to someday find
One that coincides...

“The Meaning of It All”

I stuck my hand in the murkiness of the future, feeling around for the purpose of my life. My fingers grazed many possibilities, but could never quite get a firm grip on their reality. Opportunities slipped through my hand in some waste on more than one occasion,...
