Chase Poems

Shadow Tail

Tree top dwellers
Electric line leapers
Garage roof tenants
They seem to live solely
To gather nuts
Be chased by eager canines,
And flaunt their furry tails.

GAME OF CAT AND ROBIN

my russian blue cat
static like a statue
on the sun-warmed
window ledge

laser-focused eyes
fixate
on the gum tree
leaves tremble
then still

shrewd cat waits
wet nose
smearing the glass

a robin’s fleeting shadow
darts across
a pool of sunlight
diving into
the center of the light
then swooping back again
in a blur of motion

my cat pounces
chasing the robin
around
the carpeted floor

over and over
he paws at
the imaginary catch
but each time
elusive robin
slips

SERENDIPITY

songer.co/song/gczrmkvjg6vew99l2b021z1f

[Verse 1]
Love comes and love runs
As I go another time around the sun

[Verse 2]
Love someone, then let them go
The less you care, the more you know
As I go another time around the sun

[Bridge]
If you know love, you hold it tight
The imposter’s always chasing lights
And I go another time around the sun

[Verse 3]
I said no thanks

CHASING YOU

songer.co/song/rp46aipglmzluwbnxswcz42q

[Verse 1]
The lights are flashing, but girl, I’m stuck on you,
Like chasing fireflies, but you slip right through.
The fair’s spinning wild, but you’re the only thing I chase,
You act all cool, but I see that smile on your face.
Laughter fills the air, kids screaming loud,
But all I hear is you, standing out in the crowd.
Your

She Does Not Chase Light

She Does Not Chase Light

She does not chase light.

She is the myth  
the men forgot to write.  
The goddess of the long, slow burn —  
hips like prophecy,  
voice like a key dropped in honey.

She doesn’t beg for warmth.  
She remembers the fire.

She is not the muse.  
She is

ACROPHOBIA

songer.co/song/r8btoho3abg0psszqle86vkb

[Verse 1]
Girl, I’m caught between the thrill and the fall,
Your shadow’s tracing cracks across my wall.
Electric hum beneath my skin,
Addicted to the mess I’m in.

[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers call me higher, but I grip the rail,
Chasing sparks that flicker — I can’t bail.
Every heartbeat’s a quiet fight,
Lost inside your soft, electric light.

[Chorus]
Acrophobia, yet I’m chasing the highs,
Hands shake

A Wild goose chase

THAT START OF THE DETERMINED KID
THAT DASH OF THE CURIOUS YOUNG INTERPID 

I HAVE COME FAR NOW 
NO GOD I FOUND , TO NOBODY'S LOVE I BOW 

FROM COUNTLESS EXISTING PATHS WE CAN 
TAKE ONLY ONE
I AM HERE, WHERE THERE IS NOONE 

CONVERSATIONS ARE NOW FEW 
I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO IS NEW 

EVEN MY

The Rainbow Chase

Searching
for his palette
the painter
wanders on
Dreaming
of each color
to visualize
his song
Tubes of paint
lie scattered
unsqueezed
their caps remain
In attics
of blank canvasses
with images
— unframed

Gboko Gives Chase

In Gboko, where the dust motes dance and play,
A town, a city, a people, some would say.
What defines its spirit, a riddle, a quest,
With a gait too familiar, putting all to the test.

"Gboko!" he calls, by name, with a grin,
"Seems we're acquainted, where have you been?"
For here, familiar strangers, a curious clan,
Know each other better

Breathless chase after shadows

As the dark veil covered the sky,
I was left with no choice but to resign to fate.
The enemy was relentless in their pursuit—
My platoon scattered after the strike on Khartoum.
Only two bullets remain~
One to kill another,
The other for myself.

I was lucky to find an abandoned trench—
wide enough to let my eyes rest.
Too fatigued to resist

Chase Your Dreams

It's time Your Chase Your dreams
like that job with no bag in your hand
Or Like You was chasing that man
For a relationship 
And all he was doing wit you was playing 
Never Claiming you were his just a chick
To be honest you wasn't even his side dish
Lacking love and only wanting your attention 
But never

Puppy Gives Chase

He barks at the intruder
Chases it down the driveway
The creature floats up
Wind carries it swiftly away
Another leaf flies by
Puppy gives chase
No one can keep up with this guy’s pace
He is as excited as he can be
About anything that floats down from that tree

Chasing Forever

And if today puts a period on forever

I’m glad I got to spend it with you

I’m glad we got to drink in a million golden sunsets

I’m glad we got to dance to our own music in the rain

I’m glad we got to laugh during the birth of a thousand sunrises

I’m glad we got to collect

I do not chase what is destined for me

I do not chase what is destined for me,
for I have felt what it's like to pursue a dream that dissolves on the horizon,
leaving only unfulfilled longings and deep silences,
like a song lost in the wind of memories that never return.
I do not beg for love,
for I have given everything and was left with deep

Chase Your Dreams

Don't change your dreams 
Just because you don't know 
How to make them a reality 
Learn to start by seaching
Ways to make it happen
Try to do it your way
Or learn the ways of other
Don't get discourage to err
Better to take 40 times time
Than 40 times doing nothing.
