One in a Billion

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 ***...

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 →

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

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 →

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... Continue Reading →

Gone Too Soon

Premature postponement Of a productive existence Wistful souls Waiting, wanting, wishing *** Old vitality and vigor, vanished Vexed by vintage memories Undoing unfairly unraveling at Unprecedented pace *** Darkness, doom and despair Dangling around in the air Night is closing in Life’s new phase begins *** ©yourdailyescape.blog

Inconspicuous CPA

Balancing accounts at the end of each day the applied dual concept haunted my nights *** Consistency principles ignored exacerbated the need for diversification at times, diverging assets to overseas entities that were kept under wraps *** Unapplied matching concepts, to account for the gaps of missed calls and mysterious outings, led to full argument... 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,... Continue Reading →

Silent Thief

The laughter, the joy Hearing hope in their voice My simple pleasures Drowned by your pressure *** My train of thought Swallowed by your plot My gift for dreaming Hurt by your demeaning *** I gave you time To mend your crimes But you live through lies, You are dead inside *** All that you... Continue Reading →

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... Continue Reading →

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... Continue Reading →

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

Full Contact Sport

Would you like to come? Play the game with us? The admission price Is discomfort *** Do you promise it will be fun? Who else will be there? We better win or else I plan to be gone *** The goal is to keep playing There is risk of concussions, Pushing, punching And a lot... Continue Reading →

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...
