Levity escapes me as the sun fades

Levity escapes me as the sun fades
Long shadows reach out to join in darkness
Silence gives way to a humming moonrise
Stealthy scents tempt predatory patience

Red eyes gaze into hungers haunting need
Soft feet muffle the presence of the prey
The subtlety of motionless movement
Awaiting the starters pistol of fear

Moonlight bathes the edges in silvery blue
A painter’s trick to

a tempest for the almanac

The evening stars were gone, replaced
by a spreading, ominous purple bruise of cloud.
When the wind rose, in sudden violent
crisscrossing gusts, everything went into motion.

White cabanas shook, like staked swans
flapping to fly, lavender bushes thrashed
their thorny arms as if in panic, umbrella pines
creaked and writhed like tethered balloons.

Lightning lit the winding, stony stairs, like ornamental
neon lights,

Time escapes

Time is a funny thing,
A fluid, jumping, bumping, running thing.
It’s something you can never catch,
You beg for it to speed up, as time drags on,
And you’re just waiting,  and then…
Bam
You’re on a speeding train hurtling along a track.
You drag your feet and try to turn back.
You beg time to just slow down, turn back
Let

Cake Topper Escapes Again

She is as pretty as her bridesmaid cake.
She popped off the top and showed us her roses.
We were excited about her enthusiasm.
But she had to sit on the cake, right?

Maybe not because she refused.
A cake decoration that had a mind of her own.
We were surprised by her antics,
But no one could talk her back up

Please don't be late for this world's greatest escapes part three

When Sunday's Children of Grace entered into Sunrise musical recording

Hamas domestic terrorists who mobbed them while chanting their popular 
slogan- "Palestine shall be free from the river (meaning the Jordan River)

My Daughter's Dark Doll Escapes

In shadows deep, a tale unfolds,
Where innocence and darkness molds.
A daughter's heart, just ten years old,
In desperate worlds, her fate is told.

Her parents gripped by heroin's vice,
Their lives entwined in sacrifice.
She's thrust into a role untold,
Preparing poison, hearts growing cold.

As mother falls to overdose,
Her daughter's pain turns to feigned.
Imaginary friends her solace find,
Dolls become her

Wrong Foot Steps For Escapes

I knew he was bound 
To be finally found 
With broadcasting steps on the grounds:
A lot talkative their composite sound…

And I knew they would him bound 
Spinning him round and round 
And his body awfully pound 
And assign to a wished mound… 

Caught at last he was and wasted,
A fine, once-intact head blasted 
And the

A Captured Netted Lion Escapes-

a hungry grand lion snorts

Winter Escapes

In our home town of winter wonderland  
we tightened love, snow and sunshine ray 
we built a snowman with twigs at hand  
  
and booted up eagerly ready to upstand   
up and down we jumped happy and gay 
in our home town of winter wonderland 

cheeks got rosy skin got

Shadow Man Escapes

smashing great performance
flying cats 
exuberance and energy

villain sparkles in a silent mirror
artistic persuasion relishes
gray tone magic

blurry waves of conciseness
partnership precarious as
shadow man escapes

waking not a wink 
snoring deeply
heart beats faster

My Soul Escapes

Into the phantom darkness
My soul flew ahead
Paving the way for my flesh self
Who had no choice
But to reattach my shadow
And retrieve my
Darling darling soul

Escapes

There are all kinds of escapes, to numb the pain
To hold back the tears from pouring like rain
It may be alcohol, drugs, sex or food
Anything one may find, to alter the mood
Maybe it is the phone, texting or to blog
Things that may end up keeping the mind in

Awakening Darkness Escapes Into Shadows

Turning salt mixes within the desert sand 
fired clay dipped inside a deeply moulded shell 
from the blood flowing straight into feathers

A wing speaks from four chambers as an echo 
holds a silent moment paused touching oceans mist 
A sky burns red as the sun dips down dawning twilight

Faraway distant murmurs through the heart's beat

Fantasy Escapes

No clock can lay claim
  to the moment untimed

Though hands finely set
  still a mystery divine

Each tick plays a cadence
  to what is now past

But what of the future
  its measure uncast

We plot and record it
  hours, minutes, they chime

As all fantasy escapes
  —this delusion of time

Fire Escapes

They hang from older buildings
To provide a way to flee
From a fire or another type
Of grim catastrophe.

“West Side Story’s” hero, Tony,
(Just like Romeo) did vouch
To Maria all his love
While on one’s surface she did crouch.

Countless films and TV dramas
Often use one as a base
For a criminal to exit
While the cops are giving chase.
