Escapism Poems - Poems about Escapism

Escapism
I slipped through reality, In a threadbare dreamscape, stitched with denial. Just when I thought, I was over it It came back to haunt to show me how I cannot escape if my mind doesn't They say faded memories don't taunt you. But when they do I leave everything behind Even my conscience to- Run away to hide in...

Escapism For the readers
Escapism – For the readers. (A lone voice whispers) Hey you, Reading this From way beyond the reach Of the Great Abyss I, Thomas, have a question or two Would you blindly follow me if I lit a red candle In this final odyssey home To be rescued And finally bare your soul Together with mine And all you can handle Before the Sacred Salt...

Escapism
Foundation. If you could escape this world, would you take that risk? Escapism As if cursed by the son of perdition As I go about my new life's mission to gain admission to her realm With Aphrodite's dead ringer who whispers songs of exquisite rendition Praying a lone arrow from Eros bow will strike, drawing gasps from the angels watching High...

Escapism
Amongst the stars my heart resides The moon is my humble guide Falling into infinite darkness Such is my state of bliss I am a creature of the night Where my soul finds its might Tranquil rivers flow into me Waves of calmness my mood to be When all I can see are outlines Of trees and shrubs of all kinds Such beautiful darkened silhouettes...

Escapism for the readers
(A lone voice whispers) Within this deep clearing, a mystical sanctuary surrounded by the long trees of Time's perpetual symphonies, we meet. Within this clearing, sheltered from Storms Inside this sacred sanctuary, within this journey A place beyond the Silence of Humanities long reach A secret place where the bright blue Sky holds back the shadows of conflict and pains...

WHEN RELIGION BECOMES YOUR OPIUM
WHEN RELIGION BECOMES YOUR OPIUM When religion becomes your opium you slip into icy pre-dawn to mosque then lie in fever flu at dusk as bilal calls again for you to stumble towards beckoning forefinger guilt chalices cringing crying You chant morning to night wrapped in dirty linen blights mantras channelled centuries ago resin rosary threadbare kitabs torn, curtains undrawn biscuits...

COLOURFUL LAMENT
COLOURFUL LAMENT I combed cool waters of your baby blue crystalline Jewel as you waded waterfall waves washing my stellar rainbow rays Arching it melted into the warm womb of transducing tangoing Earth Her Violet Flame devoured us both as nectared dewdrops to fuel the fire our soma swirling into ecstatic orange oxytocined crane flowers whispering wisdoms to a...

River Run Free
Here serene Field of green What a world I have seen Deep in shadow Deep in thought What was lost Still is sought From the mountains To the valleys To the bottom of the sea By the powers Of the flowers And that shadowed pre-dawn hour I beckon unto thee… River run free Return to me Meadow moon Sun at noon What a day May or June Deepest ocean Deepest well Seeking wisdom Finding hell Sometimes sad And sometimes mad And sometimes...

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...

Avoidance
I really need my Dell computer can’t live without a cell phone to my ear Anything to keep me from being by myself, alone or from anyone growing too dear. I commute to work at 8 am I swear at the other cars I seclude myself behind office walls and wait all day to hit the bars I have the latest model SUV 201 channels...
