Nebulous malignancy
Choking the city
Threatening residence; foul fugitive

My poetry
is not a deserter
nor fugitive ...
 It is a brave soldier.
at the front
that does not leave the fight
and die making
peaceful
poetry...

No poem should become a runaway;
write no more than what you mean to say –
determine to keep it short and definitive;
no reader wants to chase a fugitive.

we have it every day
however, not ample, absolute...
since it is brief, fugitive...
But we do have it...
in the bliss moments...!...

light is much dark for liars...
heaven has exact perimeter for the non-sinner...
the earth is too minor for the fugitive... !...

A flower wakes up

Finds shelter where lies turn truth

And

Its true colors bloom.

The foaming, frothing wave
runs wildly onto shore,
in its never ending 
struggle to be free.
but the fugitive is caught
by a mighty, unseen hand,
and pulled quickly back 
into the churning sea....

Adrenaline rush of frostbite maps out sail
Fugitive senses converge to disrobe snow blindness so bright
Though fluffy and soft in the air
Hard hitting the ground, beauty in opposites ignite

I'm innocent, I swear!
Innocent, you say,
You are the friend,
The brother,
And the rival of-
The Fugitive.
The Fugitive is the man,
The one you know best,
The one you grew up with,
Your brother,
The Fugitive....

You can burn a book,
but never burn its truth
The flames sear the meaning,
tattooed at the root

Dousing this sacrilege,
my felony went untried
Escaping with the Muse in tow
—a fugitive decried

Hiding between imprisoned lines,
a fugitive of verse
turning my back on pleadings made,
musings that amerce  

The lengthy sentence of my mind,
 fleeing my recall
to leave the spoken word confined
—released to scale the wall

You keep me roving 
never to find you 

You're
the fugitive
I keep chasing
But never capture

you're
the riddle
I hope to unravel

But you!
You always had your place
you never moved.
All this time
At one place
always have
always will
the only place 
I never look....

this 
liminal
           utopia
a vapid
         vapour
implodes
          before our
eyes:

we stand 
            fixated
in gravitas,
             the sublime
in retreat,
        our mood blunt:
in fugitive mode
we clutch at hope
naked
      in our essence...

A heart once filled with happiness, love and stability, light as a feather it was, 
now a dark scary bottomless pit left since the day you decided to walk out on me.

Never again will i be the same!
Lonliness, like a friend i find comfort in its arms. A fugitive to love, i have become....

Hiding behind
each veil of deception
 a reckoning awaits

Looming above
the sea of destruction
a fugitive of fate

Grasping for breath
on the edge of tomorrow
the future air most thin

Plaguing the weak
adrift in their sorrow
— the DNA of sin

You’ve got the how but not the why,
from heaven so ordained

For that one moment under God,
times fugitive proclaimed

You want to know the reasons past,
but not those left to find

A crown of thorns and peasant robe
—serve only to remind

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)...
