Escape Poems - Poems about Escape

Sing ‘Til You Can’t Sing No More To speak my true voice is Terrifying, exhilarating. To walk on my own legs, Sing my own song, the same. There’s no artistry in Living the song of one Not my creator, Nor the conductor of my music. I will live true to the wonder Of gifts given to me alone; Paint symphonies of color, Brilliant sonnets owning my...

They say '"love is patient, love is kind" But what about the love that leaves bruises behind The love that whispers sweet nothings by day But turns into thunder when you disobey The love that says "I didn't mean it" Yet, the walls still remember every scream in it See, love ain't supposed to taste like fear Like holding your breath when...

We used to climb up the round metal fire escape at Columbus School This was Chariton Iowa, where no one saw or cared A summer morning was the perfect time to do this Before the sun heated the tube up, making it unbearable on our bare feet...

There was a time when poems flowed so easily, so freely when your beauty ignited my soul with passion when I was young, and the world was ours But now you're just a dream, only a faded memory And I'm just an old man with memories of Yesterday still fresh on his mind We had love deep and pure, a spiritual...

Trapped inside this dim-lit place Six-by-nine cell of inner space In a cage of ribs, locked away My heart did time, held at bay But then it hatched a plan, all on its own And slipped out through those bars of bone Escape Heartist, like Houdini in chains How the trick works, I cannot explain Like that fugitive from Alcatraz...

The pain is all I feel I cannot see I cannot move I cannot breathe It contorts as a dark entity trapped within me Writhing, screaming, clawing at my heart I cannot stop feeling I cannot ignore it I cannot turn it off A persistent, agonizing, longing refuses to leave Fissures of hopelessness brand my soul Wider. Longer. Deeper I cannot contain it I cannot cover it I cannot...

When a leprechaun tightly I caught, I was hoping for gold in a pot. But that trickster escaped. At my hands I just gaped. His wee britches were all that I got....

In the clouds An old man smiles His face Lit up by the sun Pupils chase a sinking flame- Paradise? -but a bittersweet escape The evening seas Beckon the moon Stars’ wishes Burn abloom A fluttering gaze Dissolving rays Seeking A long-lost face ...

My next-door neighbor’s music is so loud I feel it vibrating in my ribcage, but I’ll just float away on my soft cloud and fill, with poetry, this vacant page. A multi-billionaire and his sidekick, who is much richer, may decide to slash my benefits~~and yours. Let me be quick to turn the news OFF. Now it’s time to dash to my own...

“Words We Cannot Escape” Words we can no longer speak we tap dance over keys bruised blackly numb Winter palette in hand Autumn now gone across white-washed notes fixated on stark enclosed walls the scent of old Lavender swimming in its vanilla escapes us each word appears miraculously in form a zealous charcoal footprint smouldering across a blank page,...
