Run And Hide Poems

Two Prince Cats
by Dylan Williamson

There was a kingdom
That had two princes
The princes were highly sought for
So they brought a challenge
For their courters to go through
Both turned into slinking cats
That could run and hide
Easily enough from anyone
That meant them harm
Both wore...Read More

I want to be remembered 
By the words that I write
I want my message to be heard
I pray someday that it might

I want my love to be felt
My heart to be told
These things are pondered
As my years grow old

I've never...Read More

Intoxicated, they love to see them guns go bang. Bang, bang,
another one has been shot down. Bang, bang, the guns of war
has shot you down. 

The streets has filled my eye's with gunsmoke, the sense of the 
wise try to...Read More

He walks around with his nose pointing upward in the air
With calculating eyes that are so fearful, mouth moving from side to side and a tongue that keeps twisting around the things that are profound. Nonsensical words are constantly dripping...Read More

Married to correctness,
divorced from the ideal

The truth becomes enigma,
veracity to steal

Facts bury in self interest,
the cheaters run and hide

All trysts a fated exercise
—philandering with lies

Clever as they seem, they are lost and confused, broken down in life, life has drowned them in their own pityness. They dream of the day when their life will be finally set free, no more broken laws just to...Read More

Hypnagogic spell immediately cast
overpowering drug induced state fast
overcome even those who just woke
prolonged narcotic effect could last
bajillion years (hyperbole to wake
any lil lulled reader) superfast.

Before he/she succumbs without blame
impossible mission monseigneur or dame
to break loose against buttressed bed frame
magnetic pull...Read More

Gone are the days when I could 
Run and hide from chopping wood -
Escape from chores that I found boring
And beneath me when rain was pouring
Torrents on my young and eager head.
Easy was the life that I lead.
Somewhere along the...Read More

When the zombies call on you
And there's nothing you can do
You can run and hide
But time is on their side
Corpses crawling
You start bawling
Running too and fro
Where can you go
Cause their coming after you
And there's nothing you can do
Buy a ray...Read More

i could be bitter or better but i chose to try to be my best-
   i could be a kicker or a fighter, for one time I was depressed.

Over saturation with 
welter weighted Yuletide
drenching world, web, wide
equal and/or greater
effort demands energy tide
to global warming,
lest apocalypse doth ride

high and mighty mandating,
inculcating, buoying... pride
toward planet Earth, the
apathetic, demonic, horrific,
plastic... malleable passive
can no longer run and hide.

Results elucidating, forthcoming, 
groundbreaking courtesy...Read More

Happy Mother’s Day

(this is not a “nice” poem… 
do not send this to your mother, 
without reading…twice)

I want to be the picture on the cartoon. 
The milk box for the lost. 
I want to be forgotten and left behind. 
I...Read More

I was not prepared for the fame...
Didn't realize the price of a name.
Millions of eyes were watching me-
No place to go they could not see!
My whole life was then an open book,
And anyone at all could take a look.
My former...Read More

I don’t know if ill ever be okay
Each day I just want to run and hide
In a cupboard, 
Something small
Confined
Alone with my own thoughts
Ticking time bomb
Can I just give up?
There’s a gape so deep I don’t even know me anymore
I...Read More

I’m just a poem in disarray
some words tossed on the page
A jumbled mess of things to say
that never act their age

Like stanzas baked in carrot stew
all mixed and mingled in
Nice woven thoughts on skies of blue
each evening that begin

Or lines...Read More

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intertwined in everything and nothing. Apart forever and never apart. Always reaching, never meeting. Intertwined in nothing and everything. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I twist and turn rising higher. 
I’m forced into destruction and anger. 
I want to dance with the wind. 
But my...Read More

FEAR


WHAT SCARES ME
FROM AS FAR BACK AS I COULD DREAM
THIS IS WHAT Fear has done to me
This is a verse, bout’ what is cursed..
What scares you?
Is it the crossing of a busy street?
What scares you?
Is it the meeting of someone...Read More

As I walk through this sunny day, I think of you, wishing you the best
Special words I’d like to say, to help your caring heart to rest
Distant wishes swirl with the falling leaves all around
Feelings renew like autumn’s changing colors,...Read More

Sometime apple pies 
Run and Hide
You don't want to be eaten

Peeled apples roll around
Once a seedling
In planted in the ground
Flour, cinnamon, nutmeg other ingredients...
Mixed and placed in the oven

         A Poet's Prayer


God grant all poets the courage:

To grant each other the absolute
right to total freedom of thought.

To not run and hide from each
other, if by association we will in 
fear, be ignored or caught.

To...Read More

Life is a journey
A precious gift
Overflowing with mystery
Abounding in experiences 
Full of lessons

Do we learn
That is up to us
Grasp the nettle
Or run and hide
We decide...Read More

I've never been to Segovia
or even to Madrid.
But I've read Longfellow's poetry
since I was just a kid.

Inspired by his unfamiliar words
as they rolled upon my tongue,
saying gloaming for the darkness
was much fun when I was young.

I made my sister angry.
It...Read More

Hey pretty lady
Got me crazy
Got me all up in my mind

The chance we met
Won’t forget
Think about you all the time

You’re my affliction
My addiction
Useless to run and hide

Is it you
Is it true
In you I will confide

Is there an us
There is no...Read More

Sometimes he feels good in the morning when he gets up
Sometimes he's sick to his stomach and he throws up
Is he out of luck
Does it have something to do with his past
Why Is his body going down hill fast

Fathom, I the stars shine;
Reaching high;
My optics visions cry;
Where are you brother suicide
Mothers why won't you cry;
Daughters go back home;
Sons why do you deny;
Papa yet you rome;
Reaching high;
My optics visions cry;
Moon beams surround the skies;
Angels and demons battle;
Christians and sinners...Read More
