Chasm

Curled under my covers
Hiding the world from my senses
Angel’s comfort beyond my grasp
Seeking refuge
Minding darkness

ego energised eddy currents betray
serpentine spirals of subterfuge 
heart too shy to emote love
till God be soul’s refuge

Flickering candles.
Dying light, like a refuge. 
Embrace the comfort
of nestling Ice cubes in Jack, 
And cigarettes with Joni.

Fallacy

The home divine
I thought was mine
And studded with jubilation,
Was not my own
The lid was blown
A refuge with a misconception.

Safe In Love

My heart takes refuge inside your love,
My happiness inside your smile.
I feel you in my spirit and know
I am safe with you here.

Refuge

A thick smog, none alike.
Where thoughts dwell
bundled up tight.

An intruding sight 
holding its ground.
No longer safe and sound.

Premium Member Somewhat of a Lone Wolf

Listen to poem:
I’ve become
a hermit
a recluse
an introvert
almost content
in my refuge
in the safety
of my bubble

To All Death Shall Come

To all death shall come,
Yielding refuge from greed,
Leaving none in need.
It gives wings to some
And others, shoulders bare,
It brings despair.
Form: Epigram

Sweet Sanctuary

Come asylum's breath,
gossamer wings touch mine brow ~
Grant me refuge please;
then may my soul find comfort.
In your peace, my heart shall rest...

All conquering tree
each limb stout and assuring
transforming young life
our need our escape

Madder Than the Hatter

We are madder than the hatter 
Seeking refuge in words 
Enticing souls comprise 
Sharing emotion 
We feel deep in inside 
Well... 
Maybe just some

Atop

Atop your pedestal
Life is grand
Brain in pocket
Deed in hand

‘Tis a cage not a refuge
Ignorant bird
But “let’s all eat cake”
‘Twas all that was heard
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member The Bus Home

Lovers huddle close.
Rain smacks the dusty pavement.
Commuters bustle,
Seeking refuge in doorways.
Diesel fumes, cigarette smoke,
Intoxicate the bus queue.

Premium Member Heavenly Tune

Your soothing voice echoed love’s 
Heavenly tune

And  

In my fiery heart, at last, melody
Refuge found!

Refuge of Quietude

One's thought is fleeting like a breeze drifting in the space as if seeking for something, wouldn't it be a refuge of quietude?

Deluge Became Refuge

Deluge Became Refuge

We had discovered a huge deluge
Of things stuck there in subterfuge;
Being  brash,
Was all trash;
Had been tossed becoming refuge.

INDIFFERENCE



Battered by the hurricane of your
Indifference
My heart, hastily took refuge         
Into
The harbor of solitude!

Tears

Tears with no face
Tears behind curtains

Tears with no voice
Tears but no person

Tears without saline
Tears without shine

Tears without refuge
These tears are mine

Premium Member Injustice

In God's creation,

Injustice a place never had,

For that reason

In Man's world, has it, refuge

Found!
