No Escape

The leopard can't escape the zoo
No matter how much he has plotted
I'm guessing that the reason was
Because he'll always be spotted!

No Escape

A homeless man
with a cell phone
connected to his pain
Desperation
on his speed dial
—muted inhumane

No Escape

The worst part of this mystery,
when the body dies and the soul is free,
they'll be no peace in the psychic sea,
because I'll still be stuck with ME.
Form: Rhyme

Dream

Dark hole,
No escape,
Thrash around in my sleep…

Scream,
Awaken from my slumber.

Must break free,
Veiling memories,
Help me escape from-
Me.

Complacent, Nowhere To Go

Walks on the line of ineptness 
Treacherous and unstable footing
Pain is the fuel for complacency 
Tortured, but unbreakable
The location of no escape

Premium Member Dreams Seem So Real

Dreams seem so real
  The truth they conceal 
You're sure you're about to die

There is no escape
  That's how you feel
Wake up ~ in your bed you lie

Window of Words

Window of Words

There are days l am a prisoner 
held fast by my thoughts
and there is no escape
but for a light 
through a
window 
which are
words.

Event Horizon

Exploding Shockwaves. 
Collapsing in upon itself- the death of a magnificent star 
Now births a black hole.
Caught in the gravitational pull 
There is no escape

No Escape

A heavy ear
an empty heart
Breathless voice
with eyes that dart
Love forsaken
rebirthing pain
Hope redundant
—lost refrain

Apparently

Words..all words

Are empty and full..

And that statement 

Is empty and full

As is this one..

Apparently

No escape

Is available...

"And a sword will pierce your heart"
A sure prophecy

Canvas of Verdict

Bright
sunlit
angels call
forth in a dream
there is no escape from the light of God

He paints dreams on his canvas of verdict
never once flawed
or disturbed
into
Dark

Premium Member sorry lives

sharp knives
harsh events
so broken and bent
no escape available
till the light of love blooms to lighten your gloom
and only then does bitterness become bearable

Trapped

The walls are closing in 
There’s no escape this time
Trying to break free 
Something holding back

Darkness
Ever increasing, all consuming 
There’s no where to go, but in.

Premium Member A Perfect Mismatch

He couldn't stand her temper tirades
   She ranted and raved about bills left unpaid

A tragic couple they were, a perfect mismatch ~
   Their marriage contract containing no escape hatch

Apparently 

No escape 

From two..

Love

There is no escape of love
you can't run away
because love is so deep
it's not an easy game to play
but a human without love
can't live for one day
in this complicated life
that will end anyway
Form: Rhyme

Temporary Warmth

no escape
from this day
this cold air
wraps me
in its grasp
relentlessly 

the only relief
i foresee 
are adrift
in thoughts
of you
that bring
some warmth
my way
this horrid
january day

Premium Member Full Stop

Listen to poem:
I'm poised to deliver a singularity,
   a pithy black hole,
a spot from which there's no escape
   once key or pen is lifted;
It's terminal - period:
Wait for it! The End is nigh!
There, it's done .

No Escape

Poet’s sleep
with their memories
to hate or to love
Voices unanswered
the night’s
turtledove
Darkness remembers
what daylight
forgets
As dreamers
reenter
— what twilight begets
