Escaping Trump

Escaping Trump 
They tell me the apartment I live in is posh
has three toilets and double locking doors
Each apartment has a garage in the basement
a quite murky place with rust-splattered walls
I'm sure Salazar used the place and
His secret police, one can assume, the rust is
human suffering.
Lately, many Americans have moved it to
the expensive flats on the

Volcano Run part 3 - Escaping the Ashfall

Part three

Once we were home, the bikes secure
we sealed the clubhouse, best we could
waiting for the ash to stop 
but fearing that it never would,

All the TV news was dismal;
all predicting different things,
each with warnings dire and dreadful
of the dangers ashfall brings.

I dug out pairs of coveralls
and painter's masks for us to wear,
and cartons of

Breaking, Escaping My Doldrums

Being in a rut is driving me nuts.
I feel trapped in this doldrums.
In my mind, I am screaming …
Please, somebody! Get me out!

Writing is hard, nothing comes to mind.
Going out is tough, even to the market.
All I do is read, transporting me to Boston,
and Vermont, the settings of the stories.

Need to write, but my muse

Silent Bruises

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

Escaping The Silence

Vitamins, chained to shallow waters. Buried in a cave. Below the world. I stand ready. Waiting for more. Seeds of sorrow planted deep.
Mercy or remorse. Shadows aside I sense you near me.
Nightly rain sparks my soul. Sheer pain take over the globe.
Holding fast to what brings comfort. Joy and Bliss belong to us all.
Ascend the

Grand Plan of Escaping

on my desk
lays a plan grand 
to escape from my town
and live in the valley

waking up to the sound of birds chirping
ending my day with a walk in the evening
at night, sipping tea by the fire
to falling asleep in the arms of my lover

i’ll watch, “trees shedding a part of them in fall”
i’ll watch, fog

Escaping Death

Escaping Death

(written in a mental hospital) 

I escaped from Death today, 
And I don't know what to think. 
Because when Death comes round and round, 
you start to feel his scent and stink. 
There are others counting on me now.
I can't let them down, this I know. 
So close to Death and yet, so certain-
now

Escaping Darkness

We sit in darkness
 hours before sunrise
 unable to sleep,
listening
 to the faint sounds off in the distance
 windows open
 letting in the cool of autumn,
breathing
 waiting on change
 hoping for enlightenment
 progress, hope, fulfilled promises,
heartbeats
 echoing the steady pump
 wishing for more
 aching at it's delay,
knowing
 the sun will rise
 once again.

No Escaping Political Yuk

   Nothing to say
      but that’s ok
   Watching too much
      political yuk… 

   Time to step outdoors
      get in tune with nature
   Take in a session 
     

Escaping

It is not hard to slip away
From generalizations
They put on you in case you stay
Within their observations
They are the ones who hold the truth
Which we supposedly deserve
In truth they tell I see no use
Cause I’m behind the curve
Dissenters, silencers like me
Are many, more than they
Would ever count, just to see
How falsly we obey
We’re hypocritical and

Escaping Class

Students escaping classes was always a problem. Yesterday, the headmaster caught Herpes on the corridor.

Escaping Summer Heat

ban the horizon
harbinger of heatwaves
abandon fever

bound towards the sea
embrace your transparent realm
and thalassic depths

Escaping the Voices

The night has fallen,
turning the sky deep purple,
the color of bruises.

Outside the glass door
of the place I call home,
the noises,
and the witchy voices 
on the intercom,
are drowned out.

Some men have tried 
to quell my anxiety.
We've gone browsing 
in the shoe store,
the phone company,
to distract me from fears.

But I've come back
again and again,
to hardened criminals 
with

Escaping Reality

I sat by the dewy morning grass,
as a robin drew scrawls in the air 
with her melodious voice.
The sun's gaze prickled my skin,
as the breeze twirled between 
evergreen leaves of a Willow tree.

Chilly water flowing beside my feet,
we raced each other in the rocky springs,
sitting by the bank to compare the rocks we’d seen.
