douglas Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 EscapeToday I found myself lostSitting upon a large expanse of groomed green lawnEnclosed on either side by the grand ivory arms of Victorian architectureIn the distanceBeyond the trees the seaTurbulent and indigoSmashing away toward a smudged and foreign horizonHeavy clouds aboveImposingShape-shiftingCold and greyThe messengers of transience and impermanenceAnd I thought of the mountainOf familiar placesFeeling an unwanted coolness clutching at meFading dreams and dying passionsLike broken strings of pearlsScattering onto marble floorsAnd a fatigue slithered through my mindPoisoning my musclesStrangling what remains of my youthI must escape these constructs and impositionsThese insidious tendrils of expectation and judgmentGrowing like suffocating ivy out of the mouths and eyesOf so many encircling my lifeIt is time to choose freedomTo fall into rhythm with synchronicityIt is again time for bare feet and soft sandFor sensuality, silences and happiness Quote To receive love, you have to give it...
