The world today feels so aghast The time we shared went by so fast With silly nonsense and master plans Seemed like our journey had just begun *** From laughing until out of air To discussing key world affairs You taught me to love being a mess And to judge myself a lot less ***...

To the love of my life
I never expected Loving to be so hard And straightforward at the same time *** With every setback We both grew Forging together A love so true *** It became familiar to Give you my all No challenge we faced Seemed too tall *** But time was against us You were meant to fly Staying...

Just Another Ordinary Day
Sweet overnight breath Serves as a wake-up alarm Make way for me In the bathroom line Today I am number one *** Turning to the mirror I exclaim What is a frog doing on the other side? Holy cow! That’s my sleepy face… Then I apply yogurt and pepper to Clear the puffiness from my... Continue Reading →
Broken
Ancient demons Crawled from deep inside Brough small innovations With Godlike powers implied *** Classified and measured Essences ceased to be treasured Instead controlled and explained Causing each other so much pain *** Forgotten was the ancient art Of not tearing each other apart Accepting feelings could be mixed And people aren’t things to be... Continue Reading →
Fragile
Fishing for fragments Of my former faculties Feelings, facts, familiar faces All flashing, fading *** Perplexed by the past Pretending to ponder Purposely on pause Imprisoned by the present *** Aching to admit the Awfulness of aging Anxiously aware of Arrested alternatives *** ©yourdailyescape.blog
Star Dust
The power of the sun Shining from within A thousand galaxies Rolling on a spin *** Nurture and nature Trapped in between Play with the infinity Of probability *** Thoughts infused Get often amused By the tender Outcome of surrender
Too Much
I need to hear you say ‘I love you’ I am excessively expressive I weaved my heart on my sleeve I care so much, I go out of touch *** I am too intense at my own expense Too assertive to be discursive I stand my ground , I am too profound Too smart to... Continue Reading →
Rose Colored Glasses
Was she always this dull? Why did I worship her soul? She drops them without blinking What the hell was I thinking? *** I fancied the way she talked about poetry and folks every day felt like dreaming while all along she was scheming *** Looking back with clearer sight Without the glasses, I see... Continue Reading →
Highway to Hell
Unseen, unloved, drown out Walking a fine line Life and death reduced To meaningless tags *** Darkness inviting With a warm embrace Dimming the light Muffling the pain *** The suddenly stale Taste of reality A pit in the stomach Starved of connection *** Serial meaningless exchanges Through roads paved with hate From vehicles crossing... Continue Reading →
Pandemic
Humble beginnings Imperceptible tremors Slowly shaping Shifting *** First it captured their sight Then it took over their hands They sat for longer Unable to stand *** Mutated strains adapted Found in small pockets Over time Taking over the mind *** Disconnection from reality Inability to recognize loved ones Overflowing anxiety, panic attacks Low self-esteem,...

Gallant Knight
You showed up at my door step Singing sweet songs about love Making charming appearances, Intentionally departing after dawn *** Confidently distant Consistently inconsistent Mostly unavailable Almost unattainable Displaying your merits Through honorable labors *** Coming and going in cycles Like the moon rising at night Your temper seemed secure Like that of a gallant...

How Would You Know?
Love prepares homemade meals Without you having to ask Love works around your quirks Even making bad days feel alright *** Love feels easy and safe Because someone is stretching Beyond their known universe To accept you the way you are *** Love asks, have you eaten? What’s going on in your life? And listens... Continue Reading →
Going Out of Business
I am proud to announce That despite trying really hard To keep on competing This business is falling apart *** It comes a point in everyone’s journey To stop playing pretend Start valuing your time And decisively put an end *** When all the hard work only yields Lots of broken pieces to repair One...

Not Much Longer
Each minute that we spend apart Feels like an eternity For my smitten heart *** I long for looking Deep into your eyes For feeling your skin Pressed against mine *** Why does time deceit Lovers Making our time together Feel delightful but so brief
Surreal Painting
Bodies floating in the ethosphere Wrists cramped from swiping Entire universes crammed into a single paragraph Relationships sold at a wholesale price *** Filtered imperfections get Lost in perfectly manicured lives Vanity on steroids, invites Saddened powdered noses *** Disjointed connections spreading Like a disease rewiring our senses Replacing gestures for a screen Diluting bonds... Continue Reading →
Nautical Lifestyle
A sea of desire washing up on the shore Coming and going like waves Dreams polluted by discarded feelings Form toxic debris and plastic promises **** Scarcity, cravings, fear, demands Suspended without a heading Temporarily picked up with intent Attach to the living to find some sense **** Forever drifting farther away From the source... Continue Reading →
Rings of Power
The myth spoke Of a realm hidden Between two worlds Invisible to the naked eye *** Where humanity was Granted the ability To change their fate Through rings of power *** The brave souls who Protected the secrets Perished For a while Certainty became Only a legend Life carried on *** Remnants of the sacred... Continue Reading →
Insatiable Void
I wanted to know that you care I wanted the sun to shine everyday I wanted life to come easy I wanted pain to never come visit *** All that I thought I wanted Crushed suddenly into a void Impossible to fill in As I can’t feel any joy *** All I want now is... Continue Reading →
Time Travelers
Time travelers passing through Decisively rushing nowhere Grasping hopelessly for meaning Suspended in existence by belief *** Another face fills that empty space Hiding from the truth Behind new endeavors The mind is a scary place to be When the heart is not ready to see *** Assumed deficiencies Pouring from within Spill into exasperation...

Sacred Fire
An unstoppable drive That is old as time Runs through my veins It can’t be explained It’s alive and quickly spreading *** Through the darkness Of demons and failure Life itself whispers, there is more Get up and open a new door *** Reality unfolding before my eyes I’m open to welcome the possibilities As...
