Premium Member 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...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member 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...

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...

Premium Member 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 (Villanova Pennsylvania: July,...

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. In real life,...
