the run away sailor
out in the middle of the Atlantic a barn waste land of no life.
quite and peaceful a good place to hide.
sit in your boat and follow the way of the tide.
leave it all behind back on land,
leave it there and it all stops at the sand.
but you know.
it sits in your heart and cries no

Run Away
He sneaks into the yard.
Being outside isn’t that hard.
Until the lawn mower revs up.
And the sound of a dog starts to erupt.
He decides maybe home is better.
He’ll even put on his sweater.
But he finds he has wandered too far.
He’s afraid of being hit by a car.
He runs

I Did Not Want To Abandon You
I did not want to walk away
I did not want to leave you
On the contrary, I wanted to hug you
Before leaving.
I did not want to flee from you
I did not want to abandon you
Even though you pushed me away
Before leaving.
I wanted to be with you until the end of spring
I wanted to sleep with you,

Should I Run Away or Play Good and Dead
I spied long cat claw marks on the jungle tree
a spotted leopard or a plain puma in ebony?
I held my breath instantly, afraid to breathe.
Then heard a cough beside my sleeve.
Should I run away or play good and dead?
There was a hot breath on my arm, so I ran, said Fred.

Run Away
I regret not cleaning my room sooner.
When my mom vacuums,
She cleans around the mess.
And the mess climbs.
This house is a maze.
A maze to my room.
We all have rooms.
I should take pride in my room.
But instead I regret…
Not cleaning sooner…
Until it just became easier…
To pack up and leave.

My Muse Has Run away
I would like to write a poem,
but my muse has run away
with the four brothers.
She is singing with them now
in a greasy all-night diner
farther down the Carefree Highway.

Run Away
I want to run away
To a place where I belong
The tinsel town and dazzling lights
Have left my heart forlorn.
Like maggot that feed upon the flesh
They have fed upon my soul
Left none to waste
They carved out my woe-begotten dole
They chase me in my car
The paparazzi and media
I know not why I chose to be
This well sought

Let's Just Run Away
LET'S JUST RUN AWAY,
LET'S JUST RUN AWAY,
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE LOCATION,
IT CAN BE ANYWHERE IN THIS COSMOS,
ANYWHERE WHERE THE SUN NEVER COMES OUT
SO THAT WE WON'T GET DISTRACTED WHILE MAKING LOVE
ALL THE PLACES ARE FINE WITH ME,
IF IT'S YOU BY MY SIDE,
HOLDING MY HAND
THE ONLY THING I WANT IS YOU,
YOU, TO

The Run Away Cauldron
Long ago before the High Fae before man, there was a Cauldron
They say all the magic was contained inside it since the world began
One day it fell in the wrong hands and great horrible things were done to it
Many an object was forged but eventually it ran away heading for the hills

Reason Why I Run Away
I promise my heart the best.
That's why I have chosen it over everything.
I have chosen my only heart among billions heart.
That's why I have chosen not to follow anyone heart.
The day you joined my world,
You promised my heart angle treatment.
Along the way,
You changed like weather.
You became camelion
You started treating my heart as slave.
That's why I

Lets Run Away For a Day
Let’s run away for a day
If for nothing else than
To talk and to find out
Just where we stand
Nothing held back
For hours on end
Let’s run away for a day
Let’s make it our plan
Let’s run away for a day
So we can hug and hold too
Discuss what our souls want
Their undying truths
Let’s run away for

The Run Away Cat
Carol’s naps are plenty with a puppy on her hip.
He’s romping fields, she is captain of a pirate ship.
Cat is curled up next to Carol’s swollen up top lip.
Deathly allergic, her eyes open with a whip.
Sorry apologizes new neighbor, his voice is a clip.
It is his wandering cat; he can’t yet make the pick-up

More Foolish Than the Fool I Am
waking up to
what I thought was a
normal day
until I take a step forward
walking into
the invisible barbed wires
cutting into my outreaching hands
blood dripping down my arms
my face scarred
tears of crimson
i couldn’t see the limits
still can’t see them
never knowing how long they will last
staying in the same position
eyes only chasing the glowing stars
that appear once a month
never

Run Away Friend Run Away
The French, the English, the Germans too
All fought in a world war named Two
Many men died every day
War still goes on for many of you
Some in your own home are very blue
I do not know why you stay
Life is rather grand without any wars
So if you decide to walk out those doors
You might remember

The Epic Getaway
Lets plan an epic getaway
We’ll have to go on foot.
We’ll need to take this hairspray
it’s important how we look.
We’ll need some Dr. Pepper
dehydration is the worst.
We’ll take these Disney glasses
so that we don’t die of thirst
We’re facing certain hardships
so I’ll bring potato chips.
The wild is full of harshness
ooo! Let’s not forget the dip.
It’s important to
