Runaways

When your heartbeats drum their message of love.
My heart soars like the birds flying above.
As flashing thunder streaks across dark skies,
I will come swiftly, believe not their lies.

If any would stop me, my rage I’ll display.
Nothing or no one will stand in my way.
True love hath no captor, it must be free.
Our hearts and our

Runaways

Reluctant to be a child
Unsupervised in the wild
Never dreamed of trafficking 
All the screams inside happening
Wide eyed and busy tail

It seemed a good game for the day;

Runaways

Like a fabric that is strong,
but damp all the way through,
my body, soul, and mind,
exist the same as you.

My thoughts are like runaways,
that do not like their home,
they mingle with my reasoning,

Runaways

It was raining on the night they decided to run;
   no one knew why the left.
They left without a trace, confusion clouding their faces,
   and all they took with them was hope for survival...

Runaways

Betrayed innocence
Feet step from the city bus
Their eyes fixed in awe
Where will the new roads take them?
May they soon be led back home
