Dear God,
Please untie the knots,

Inmate Penpal Listing Feelings – Prison Poetry

October 15, 2011  ¤  Listed in : Leroy Reed - Poetry

Know what’s strange about feelings…

Sometimes you really need to feel someone,
Someone in your present…

maybe someone in your past…

The person who you care so much about…

or that someone you feel you used to love…

or that feeling of wanting to feel…

Inmate Penpal Listing Invisible Tears – Prison Poetry

October 6, 2011  ¤  Listed in : William Earl Hill - Poetry

Invisible tears of a shattered man,
too proud to show his hurt.
Invisible tears falling freely,
but never reach his shirt.

Invisible tears for his misery,
that he is loathe to see.

Invisible tears for losses,

I know my new journey will be long and difficult,

I will be left alone in these dark and murky waters
with my fear of the rocks and shallow waters ahead.

As I sail along this seemingly endless journey
I will pray

Inmate Penpal Listing Fan Mail – Prison Poetry

July 18, 2011  ¤  Listed in : Sherri Mullen - Poetry

Never met someone quite like you. My eyes follow everywhere you move. I love your smile, it puts stars in my eyes.

If things were different, I might have tried to get us “stuck like glue”. You and me boy, we’re stuck like glue.

But since lines are drawn, our sides are already picked. Your an addiction I’ll never get to kick.

Never get to hold you like a big teddy bear. Won’t be long till we never meet again.

1,000 kisses…remember, I’ll always be your
