Best Escape From Poems

Walking all alone through the bleak abyss
The ravens watching from silhouette trees
Inspiration dead, writing I did miss 
A dark event put me down on my knees.

In the distance I saw gold rays of light
I hoped and prayed that it was my escape 
At forest edge 'twas the sun shining bright
And down below a heavenly landscape.

At...

When I first awoke in this hospital, they tell me I had stared straight ahead and never uttered a word. I was in shock for a while, but now Dr. Albright, the therapist assigned to me, tells me I am ok to leave here. I ought to be glad of that, but I feel only...

let me write you a song, girl
that i will never sing you
because I'm far too shy

and no, I won't write about the real world
because I've found that the real world 
isn't pretty unless you lie

instead I'll sing about the slow twirls
that you and I make
as we dance across my mind

and I'll try to capture how...

Purple facial bruises portrayed how her dreams died,
and purple blurs mocked her heart that numbly cried.

Mute were the many broken layers she kept concealed.
Frozen fears could melt her down if allowed revealed.

Nowhere was anyone in whom she could safely confide.
Her nightmare shared could snare another terror-tied.

Tonight, she’d run with strangers who individually knew
fragments of her...

   Teleological
      hypotheses bore me

   Tautological phraseology
      snores me

   A beer and a burger ~
      I adore thee

a day will come 
when all my anguish
will vanish
and my sadness
turn into happiness
free from the whips and chains
which feeds me with pains
far will i be
from the land 
of hatred and jealousy
from the life which inflict me 
with emotional agony
and cloths my path 
with tragedies and mysteries
lay me a bed of cruelty
but a day will come...

The Escape from the Turkish Slavery
(Ukrainian historic folk song)

There broke into the Tartar sprites,
And they captured my daughter, nice,
Marusyna, my daughter, dear,
I remained with one son in fear.
And there came others- my son was enslaved,
And a widow, a poor orphan, I remained.
The third time, they took me too, an old soul...
... a Turk took me...

Escape From a Sinkhole

There is a friend of mine
He is so very dear to me
His smile is like sunshine
Friends we will always be

He has a heart that is very kind
Where others take advantage of
Since love tends to really be blind
Usually the use is mistaken for love

One day when he was helping someone
By pulling that person...

Mountains with vibrant floras
Led down to fruit laden orchards
In the verdant vales below.
I heard her then, a syrupy song
Of tender love and feats of old.
I stood beneath an apple tree
As her song wafted on the breeze,
Sliding in and around the fruit trees,
Scattering aromatic fragrance around.

Serendipitously I came onto a small farm.
A small river wended its...

On the run, again
Being chased by rogue police
I got to protest
That I’m innocent
I’m a law-abiding criminal
I mean citizen
On the last exit to wonderland
I ended up all banged up in hospital
After this constant battle
With guns and knives
Another one bites the dust
On my hospital bed, I’m reminiscing
Of how many friend’s I lost
To this urban war
I thank God
That...

There's something they need to know
They always seem to be sure
They won't swallow their pride
The loser always wants to be right

What's their matter they sure know
But they don't seem to be sure
'cause they can't face the reality
Buried deep in insecurity

And how long will you escape
The cold truth of reality
And how long will it take
To overcome...

It was in the days of Farhan
that death took the form of a man
and before your knell did toll
death usually gave you a call

Sitting in his parlour by the shore,
there was a knock on the door
Farhan jerked it open and beheld the sight
dressed in black and holding a paper stood he,
stood death!!

“Thy time has come”...

Checking the lights on the dashboard when they flash and stay red:
it's the oil that needs to be changed or the engine that requires
maintenance, and in frigid temperatures who would venture outside and get frostbites?
A car is a necessity, a commodity and besides daily pleasure, it may cost a lot indeed.



Running to the grocery store...
