escape



chase & touch a dream
just lose an appeal,
mesmerized by the forbidden fruit's flavor,
obsessive temptation
by a slithering friend,
a little bit of satisfaction,
the burn of enough  ...
the morning after,
tenderness became a cliche.

can you run away,
rest tonight,
come tomorrow?
let's lick the wounds together,
the bitter, the truer...
healing the deeper cuts
needs more of me for the long haul.

got to have faith 
to take night trips,
turn off the lights, 
lay down, close your eyes
uncover that emotion
let it stream over me
in even flow segments....
pacing my pulse...

some devotion 
disgruntled feelings 
what you can’t have 
will be alive somewhere else
with a soulful crush on flesh 
get high for a bit 
the reality behind the hurt,
carry your own way slowly,
where are you going tomorrow?
come with who you know,
escape with me
in these pages .....
