Best Escaping Poems

This Medusa had no power to turn us into stone
but when she ran aground over Poseidon's throne
his anger stirred, and into the sea the crew was flung.
On a raft urgently built of salvaged timbers we clung.
A hundred and more escaped before the frigate sunk
and after...

Malevolent imploded uncontrollably, 
  twisting wildly maniacal posies
   amid diabolically toasted brainstem, 
angst uncompromisingly yanked tresses 
  purging stinging speech patterned rhymes
 amuck iniquitous poetic verses hung
     upside down to tormentingly dry, 
    facing...

Feeling the desolation, of smothering air
Hemmed in by crowds; the obliqueness of fear
Throng of the city and no sight of the sun
Incessant noise and the desire to just run.
And I drive.

Arterial routes clogged by metal and wheels  
Schizophrenic drivers living others ideals
Neon and lights...

The mind is the prison
Of a human being 
Trapped in a cell 
Called low self esteem

This is where 
All the war begins
Locked in a world
Of mental sin

Discrimination
Isolation
Lost
Alone
The battle of the mind is a fierce war zone

Trying to escape thoughts in the mind
But they seem to...

Shadows darkest upon oblivions within hibernal hiding,
Decadent dining pleasures of pandemonium’s presiding...
Waiting is Hades Lord of delivering diabolic deception,
Enslaved souls are surrounding sacrificial seductions...
Falling Angels of abandonment amidst condemnation,
Suffering in silent sorrows are anguished and afflicted.


omniscient presence
light emanating his love
jesus saving me

Chased mercilessly 
over well- worn tar 
palpable loss pushes 
a sable brush 
dunked in dread
a furious deluge
of fear 
 oozes out
blackens every inch
 of familiar landscape
what if’s 
eat through 
 the still static blue horizon
making a meal 
of unborn dreams 
slaked only by
hastily grabbed 
history...

A single drop of water might be a source of solace.
Since what is unseen is destroyed, allow me to stay.
A magnificent ecstasy fantasy, a dreamlike palace

Dreary midwinter is no match for Elysium malice!
Hiding from prying eyes, a visit under a gloomy sky
A single drop of...

One word
Like a black cat
Prowling on a starless night
Sneaks past my notice
Quiet and still and
Unobserved
Escaping from my well-intentioned lips
“Someday”


“We’ll have to get together”
“Yes, soon!”
“Write me when you get there”
“I will!” 
“Don’t be a stranger”
“It’s been too long”
“Here’s my phone number”
“I’ll call – I promise...”
“Someday!”


Every emotion...

I’m too tired to tell another story 
About the pangs of reality 
of my barricading delusions 
and my spontaneous God given days 

A long wait ;A fat fate
A nine day wonder that forever lay in yonder.
I’m bled out of verve ;high on adrenalin 
I hated...

"Penny for my thoughts?"...I'd offer them free of charge if they'd not escape.

Please don't distort me with expectations!
I felt your orbit many years ago.
Your gravity filled me with temptations.

The moon in my sky, you made my heart slow.
My ocean was drawn towards your bright light.
I felt your orbit many years ago!

Still I remember how you lit my...

i'll never forget
the way his words
fell across the page
his ciceronian elegance
the effulgence of my soul

amidst the threads
of darkest nights
spun as if through stars
we danced within the shadows
'neath the pearly moon

i remember the way
our muses spoke
mindful thoughts
in hidden speech
epistolary notes in whispers
romance upon the sheets

though i...

In afternoons I would escape
With cartoons like the Grape Ape
Lounging with my teddy bear
Snacks and goodies we would share
My warm P.J's soft to touch
How I miss those days so much
No worries, concerns, or cares
Laughing till I started tears
From the antics on T.V.
That entertained teddy and...

Love defeats I’m not brave
I can’t wait anymore
And I wish to be slave
And I gift you my core.
In my longing, I’m blind
And I’m losing control
I will ask you to find
My desirable soul.
In your vanity wave  
Will you hear my last cry?
And I stand near...
