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...

Wrong Turn
If I knew then What I know now, Would I have taken You anyhow? *** Excited to find A place to belong It didn’t occur to me It could be wrong *** Focused on giving I forgot about living Collecting your crumbs My heart grew numb *** Gathering the pieces Of what’s left I doubt... Continue Reading →
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...

Beautiful Cypher
Green shows fear or Quiet despair That turns light blue When love is in the air *** Anger turns them Dark blue all the way Overwhelming sadness Turns those eyes gray *** ©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
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...

Finally at Home
A voyage leading to unexpected places is what I set out to find I believed my heading was clear until your path crossed mine *** Resting in my glacial palace feeling proud of the battles I won I didn’t suspect you to be a great adventure that would blow my mind *** There is something...

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...

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
New World
Being with you feels like Stepping on firm ground For the first time My heart is filled with joy Even when we are apart Your kind soul has ignited A fire within my heart No one before nourished my thoughts With sweet talks of summertime Each minute I long for that moment When once again,...

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...

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...

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...
