Someday Tomorrow Will Come

Never about the mileage
but about the miles
Always about the moment lived
— escaping time 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)


A Smile Is More

a smile 
is unspoken words
escaping from your heart
leaving behind the sounds
just taking with it
the feeling and emotion

Escaping Darkness

Spirits of a rose
Send messages to the Sun
Fragrance in Yellow...

Set the forest aflame,
As I realize how’re no longer the same.
Set my sight on escaping,
As I run from wildfire ever burning.

Escaping Summer Heat

ban the horizon
harbinger of heatwaves
abandon fever

bound towards the sea
embrace your transparent realm
and thalassic depths

Searching olive green shallows
For grubs escaping

Sleep

Slowly my eyelids
Lower themselves upon my cheeks
Escaping is the world before me as
Everything goes dark and quiet
Painlessly I go...

echoes from fallen timber, tucks his head
slowly escaping the smoke 
he lives another day

Escaping their bowls,

Poor fish flipping and flopping;

Dying free at last:-

Let us flip-flop injustice,

As we live lives free at last.

Students escaping classes was always a problem. Yesterday, the headmaster caught Herpes on the corridor.

Escaping


How swift the disappearing of shadow
meshing with green foliage
Like my hasty choices

Dead bird

Cold night engulfs an injured bird

Wings caging it from

The naked reality

It seeks warmth

In a frosted golden cage

Of escaping hope...

Premium Member Elusive Words

lithe light lovely words float past
escaping my touch as a butterfly does
one lands in the form of a dragonfly
or are you a damselfly?
I have no words

The Seven Dwarfs Retire

Packing up to finally leave her,
seven dwarfs getting a breather,
no more butler days,
enjoying sun's rays,
escaping Snow's screams and diva demeanor.

Stopping For a Second (Just For You!)

Stopping for a Second

An endless pouring
Is escaping from my soul.

Spade

some fellow the white coats call spade
perceived a great fortune be made
as a new day arose
drew great birds on his toes
escaping  the white coats dismayed

Premium Member I Could

I could shed rags for an emperor's robe
I could climb mountains to escape the sea
I could circumnavigate the globe
But there's no escaping
The me of me.

"Penny for my thoughts?"...I'd offer them free of charge if they'd not escape.

The Abandoned House

Creak ... creak.
Afraid to speak, this boy,
Who runs. 
Escaping now, this house of sounds.
Whoosh, creak, clang and pop
Leaving house ... leaving block.

Chased by modern cowboys
Hooves fly in pursuit of freedom

Escaping Lines

Ain't no justice living in poetic prison,
The heart pumping ink while stuck in its rhythm,
Why I feel the need for the pen to bleed,
Coz to me it's a mystery.

Memories Flee

Escaping into tomorrow,
  while running from today

The wolf gives chase, my memories flee
 —the past to howl and bay

Echoes Of The Past

green moss, low fog dawn
windswept breeze through old willows
tombstone, cold alone
