Escalating Escapism

Currently
Escalating escapism
The lionfoot bathtub is
My heavenly grace
Head under water
Under the ocean water
The turquoise jeweled water particles
All over me
A beautiful dream
I don’t want to wake up
Don’t pinch me
Just leave me be
With the soft, white gold sand
The endless blue horizon
With twilight approaching
And dusk coming close on its tails
A gorgeous game of tag
A slow, silent crackle of thunder
Soft satin sashes of white
Be kind, I say
Running away
From the uncertainties
From the harsh gray lines
Just let me be
Just let me be
Don’t drag me down
Down into the undertow
I can’t breathe
Heavy minds
Weighing me down
I’m going to drown
The tense pressure of the
Shaken champagne bottle of
Feelings
Tick tok tik tock
Close the door
Don’t let the steam of dream
Leak through the creaks
Wet fingers
Sliding across the screen
Skip skip skip
Repeat
Rewind
Stop
Play
Keep playing
Just keep playing

The Escalating Deep

A withered and separated flower lay squashed in bent stature.The wind silently erodes the remaining petals sequentially, with each pulse of the air. 

A distant nightmare, tangibly manifested, the echoing warning from the past. 

A trapped piece of newspaper married to a low-lying hedge branch, concealed from notice, dead from purpose.

An hourglass society, scuttling around in organized vice and engineered hypocrisy with time to dictate and money to distract. 

A plague of opinions in this boundless possibility never reaching bedrock. A gash made upon the earth, a slow
puncture untreated in our hourglass existence we believe isn’t moving.


Escalating

My dreams are obese 
So I'm holding weight 
hardworking From morning to evening 
I do it for the benefit 
One side right others left
So im in the center, alone
High in the sky, levitating 
Hoping that I won't fall,
From infant to adult 
Im tall now! I see the hill 
The fantasy I envisioned 
The dream I'm living 
Letting go of myself 
Letting go of my past, 
I'm moving!

Damn im leaving 
You know changing,
From G to H 
So call me G heathen,
Cause i believe in my own dreams
White on white 
I'm talking about that cream,
Oh The sweet lies
Coated with that green
You know i stay clean,
I got a lighter in my pocket 
If you wanna shine,
Come join the light to see the brighter side
From three's to six's we counting.


The eye on us and they watching!
A massive house with watchdogs
That's a head log
Cars of some sort, 
ranging from blue to red
You gotta know your colours,
Name tags as number plates 
Man we riding.
