Best Fugitive Poems

terza rima

Years of experience, a discovery -
I can speak without making use of my jaws.
Prudence and patience are rudimentary.

Some folks get their kicks using scuttlebutt claws.
Their tongues' crude vitality comes with closed eyes;
emotional blindness - the probable cause.

Starting with prejudice, they out and out lie.

I wanted in my poetry cup
Neither fixed heat nor cold
Sought just to raise it up
Close to your hair gold

No centre is required to write
A poem of beauty or struggle
Rather a fugitive’s might
To bring out those lovely bubbles

We live mostly in thoughts
Of pictures and colors various
Trying...

A flower wakes up

Finds shelter where lies turn truth

And

Its true colors bloom.

A maid, lovely and just as fair,
     is a flower, a bloom, afresh
even when no sunshine's o'er there. 
     In spirit and in youthful flesh,
so magnificent past compare, 
     she softly glows, with...

Once a jade vision 
Briefly twisted in the breeze 
Now brown and demised...

A fugitive from society, 
A fugitive from the makers of the nook, 
A prisoner in my special school, 
A convict to the female OT department, look. 

Not needing occupational therapy from a woman, 
From a girly woman who had no depth, 
Who used Yuhu to...

This is the last of us you'll ever see.
You've executed that initial thrill.
With this goodbye, at last you're free of me.

Though you might miss the way we used to be,
Of recent suffering, you've had your fill;
This is the last of us you'll ever see.

Resist arrest,...

Fugitive


Fleeing the confines of mind
scurrying over addled thoughts,
sorting through lifeless sermons.
Challenging the confines of conformity.
Fleeing oppressions oligarchs
loosing a flow of vitriolic viciousness,
hell bent on pissing off the world
signing on as the “devil’s advocate”.
Running off at the mouth,
parsing paths chosen - by the chosen.

Fugitive!
Worn boots, frayed...

A Fugitive
Bus Stop Overland Park, Kansas   7:35 PM

A furrowed brow and furtive eyes
that refuse to engage another,
striding quickly through the crowd
and putting people between him
and the police car.
He is hardly the drifter or the hobo.
His walk remains crisp, confident
betraying that of a professional...

From Sixty-Three to Sixty-Seven, we watched it,
upon our tiny TV screens.
We banned all phone calls or interruptions of
these fascinating scenes.
Dr. Kimball had been convicted
of the murder of his wife.
On the day set for his execution
he'd escaped and ran for his life.

He ran, looking for the...

It was almost dusk when he rode into town
Looking for a saloon, his sorrows to drown
'Twas in that saloon a fight broke out
 And he had to punch a cowpoke in the mouth

The next day the posse came looking for him
Wanted dead or alive, his...

I robbed a bank today 
Suprisingly
 I got away
The cops were just seconds behind
The money so much money
is mine
I cant believe
I pulled it off
Just a hoodie, bandana,
and a plastic gun airsoft
I told that teller 
give it all to me
So scared 
so frightened was she
put in...

There are some gateways
to free you out of bond
of what you call a prison
and others hold it fond

There are some gateways
to save you from your plight
though you lack in strength
all knows of your might

Go on, go on
and be a fugitive
of what you hate and love...

The Fugitive

He’s now subdued and has health issues.
He was once in a dysfunctional marriage.
He’s presently in a stable relationship.

He’s more responsible and doesn’t drink like he use to.
He’s a gentleman, and no longer beats and abuses women.
Once a dead beat dad; he’s now trying to...
