I’ll float, far away
Into clouds of unknown
Settled sweetly in this basket
I now call my home
Heading for the crescent
Lighting the sky
A place in the heavens
Tis where I shall fly.

My balloon, it mimics
The likes of a fish
One made of jelly
Upon which I wish
To travel to places
I’ve not been before
Clipping the mountain tops
Over the shore.

Skirting the lands
I’ll make my escape
With the wind in my hair
And the night, taking shape
Just me and the universe
Stretching our wings
Flying, free as a bird
With naught anchoring.

Monochromatic colors

Cover over, in the dark

Moonbeams, casting shadows

Cross the river, in the park

As I stand upon the bridge

Looking up to blackened sky

I see you watching over me

And wish that I could fly

Into your sweet tranquility

Where I can touch your face

Forgot about the world below

Find peace, in your lunar grace

 

This poem, and others like it, can be found in my poetry chapbook “Dark is the night“.

She breathed in, floral scented air,
Walked in silence, never shared;

Born of beauty, elegance, grace,
Branded by flaws, upon her face.

Chastised, by all the wrong doers,
She, simply, could not maneuver;

Around the evil words they spilled,
Heartache pierced her, left her chilled.

Whispered voices, in the night,
Horrid rumors, became her plight;

Hidden behind doors, she grew old, alone,
Cast away, twas the first pebble, thrown.

Which grew to a boulder, to her dismay,
Beauty, no longer in this place, could stay;

She’d steal away, under the midnight sun,
Be gone, before morning broke, begun.

Never again, allowing them to misconstrue,
She left no trace, of the life she once knew.

Take flight, across the fullest moon

Watch as creatures swoop, and swoon

Seek out their journey, ride the wind

Then pause a moment, do not rescind

The thoughts, which carry you away

Take heed, as branches begin to sway

Along with the breeze, they gently fly

Dance with the night, let time go by

Forget the sorrows, gone, yesterday

Send them all packing, to the Milky Way

The glow of the light, shines through the dark

Though life is, often led by, a question mark

Gives comfort, to those who fear in the night

An escape, wings spread, exhale, take flight

Her flight was canceled.  Again. This would make the fifth time in as many hours. Determined to remain cool, she set her sights on the departure boards. Maybe she could get another flight out of this God forsaken town. At this point she didn’t care where she went, only that they wouldn’t be able to find her.

She witnessed a scuffle near the ticket counter, policemen were questioning the clerk, who seemed rattled. They knew. Without hesitation, she grabbed her carry-on, leaving the other bags behind.

Calmly walking out the doors, and signaling the closest cabby, she made her escape.
