No Escape Poems - Poems about No Escape

No Escape

We can’t escape it, don’t know what to do.
People at each other, guess it’s overdue.
Yeah, we’ve read about it.
Is it here? I doubt it,
but I’m here to tell ya that it all is true.
 
Cuz the world’s falling fast into decay.
Makes me wanna stand up, shout to say -
I don’t really know man!
Where we gonna

No Escape

Poet’s sleep
with their memories
to hate or to love
Voices unanswered
the night’s
turtledove
Darkness remembers
what daylight
forgets
As dreamers
reenter
— what twilight begets

(Dreamsleep: April, 2018)

No Escape

A heavy ear
an empty heart
Breathless voice
with eyes that dart
Love forsaken
rebirthing pain
Hope redundant
—lost refrain

(The New Room: January, 2024)

No Escape

Fear acclimated to my very senses, a dire undertaking
This is, living in the present, yet a time traveling mind
Sent me to relive the past, not to learn from it, but as 
Punishment, a judgement of my weakness that silenced me post haste.
A dead heart yearning to beat another day, it's dying remorse for careless actions

No escape

The time that I spent dazed,
Now trapped in this downward maze,
I never looked for escape anywhere.

Every single step,
I didn't care for help.
I never looked for escape anywhere.

All the destruction follows me
So God watched Satan oversee
As lost souls on my Journey whispered
 "Don't stop believing." - I did

I raise my head high
Hoping for clearer sky
But night

No Escape

A homeless man
with a cell phone
connected to his pain
Desperation
on his speed dial
—muted inhumane 

(30th Street Station: November, 2023)

No Escape

I run, sprint, I jump,
They chase, there're catching up,
Keeps going, then black.

There's No Escape

No Escape

In dark corners of the city,
old shadows are found

In dark corners of the city,
premonitions abound

In dark corners of the city,
the doors swing one way

In dark corners of the city,
your soul becomes prey

In dark corners of the city,
where hope goes to die

In dark corners of the city
—your dreams say goodbye

(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)

No Escape

mother-in-law’s tongue
Sending up new brittle shoots
barbs beyond the grave

No Escape

Alone with my thoughts
—the devil makes three

(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)

There Is No Escape From the House of the Dead

In a barren apocalyptic landscape,
under a withered, bare, and grossly malformed weeping willow tree.
Lies a lone stone which reads: There is no escape From the house of the dead.
The stone, in pristine state, stands as a testament to all who enter there.
The interloping tendrils of a wisteria vine, have encircled and strangled all in its

No Escape

You can't run away from the ashes
  —as their memory burns from within

(June, 2020: University Of Pennsylvania Hospital)

No Escape

Run or die
  Faster, faster
The will to run wanes

Write or die
  Poem after poem
Though I'm ever sadder

No Escape

The leopard can't escape the zoo
No matter how much he has plotted
I'm guessing that the reason was
Because he'll always be spotted!
