Among the flowers and the grasses
And breathed – and layed my burden down
On my corrective glasses

The clock ticks twelve and sounds awake
The dream of cinderella fades
Back to pots and rags and drags,
Back to fake end serenades

Now recaptured with new luster,
Peaceful rest falls.

BAWDY Elf on the Shelf

A giggle escaped from the shelf
as Santa was tossing himself,
his face very red,
'I'm coming,' he said
and smirking, he shot on the elf.

Cats,Train and a Shadow

cats escaped
from train screams
a shadow watching
behind the station wall
no moving

no witnesses that moment
the wheather is very cold

in the dimness of the tea lounge
i stared into the dark depths
that were your pupils
and
clung to every word that escaped
the curve of your lips

Listen to what he tells them to do
When the cows got away
He told them to stay
So, the rest escaped, oh It's true

until we escaped the comfort zone
and scattered beyond
now the wind calls us dandelions

through echoes of dawn's funny song
while servants eyes desire escaped expressions
through ones journey

who escaped from the city zoo
they simply jumped the wall
for it wasn't that tall
now the dolphins want to jump it too

From an enamored couple
When both realized
Love had withered forever 
Lacking of fertilizers

He never heard a word she said…
not in all their years
for the moment words escaped her lips 
they transformed into notes
and became music to his ears.

It lived in a town of the coast.
The man traveled by sea.
As swift as could be.
And escaped with his life to boast.
