Two t-shirts, a pair of shorts, some long pants Maybe one nightie Tennis shoes and socks, but no dress shoes two credit cards, and three...

INSANE POETRY RUNNING AWAY Part 02
Oh Syrinx, by the lake where you await, blossom anew! Proud of murmurs that speak of goddesses, in a reverent hue. Unleash the waists of shadows, in my tales they live and breathe, As I imbibe the brightness of the grape, dispelling sorrow. Laughing, I raise the emptied glass beneath the summer sky, Breathing into luminous skins, yearning until evening...

INSANE POETRY RUNNING AWAY Part 01
Gathered among lovely nymphs, whose grace shines brightly like eternal stars Their vibrant essence lingers, embracing radiantly, In the dream-laden air, does my love pursue only a fleeting vision? My uncertainty, an ancient veil of darkness, now reaches its peak. In the quiet branches that linger faithfully, in enduring woods, Alas, I too have presented myself as a false and...

I am running away the four-year-old told his parents. Take some clothes, his father urged him. Better take your piggy bank, said his sister. Would you like a sandwich? Asked his mother. He said he did not need any of that stuff. He was only taking one thing, his puppy, Ralph. Ralph happily followed him to the gate. Where they sat for...

Running Away
When I was a kid, I wanted to run away. As if running away, would be fun. Like running through clouds, And the clouds are happy. My mom scolded me, But it was all fun, and make believe. I just turned 17. I just got my license. And the car is glaring in the sun. Singing songs on that radio. That were sad. Driving...

Running Away
the mornings light before me lies dawn does break in eastern sky and I know not what in the day what I shall do stay or go away a distant path does call to me to places that I might be and do the things that I do not know and learn the things that I might know and yet the fear of what might be what I might find and I might be but...

I’m running away to unearth consolation. My knees - my bindle, carried to the ground. To unearth consolation, I’ve traveled so far, so near. Carried to the ground - all my trepidation and loss. I’ve traveled, so far, so near to the presence of Christ. All my trepidation and loss laid down at the foot of the cross. To the presence of Christ - my knees. ...

Running away Running away They couldn’t make her stay Further and further into the woods Why didn’t she stop like she should Time went by fast She stopped at last She was scared She was in the middle of no where She realized that day Never run away from fear...

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...
