EscapeA Poem by Al R. ArceAnother Poem in my line of I don't want to be here !
I wanna get away
Away from this daily grind, where there's No steel or concrete, no cars, computers or fray. To lay in a bed of lush grass, where the canopies whisper good morning Listening to bird songs greeting, and morning breeze play smooth jazz Walk to the lake and see how the early autumn leafs Get intoxicated by the early morning weeds being smoked by the water Being the first spotter of a sun timidly creeping through a virgin wake. Oh your peace, the serenity feel, the spontaneous smile when the soul shines, Where silence is but the canvas of natures music and paintings Where there's no defiance, but dances of beauty in waning. I want to get away Away from this cold mind wash where glass and wood keep me stray. My senses become numb after typing countless phrases. To my duties I must vow, While my mind seeks a means to fly away Where the weed is free and the seafood is fresh Where I don't need new jeans, or cologne scents. Where my color is painted by the sun, while I don't smell like funky oils. Where my only concerns are the waves, find a shade, and the hot soil Dancing to the night's fire, with nothing on my mind Not a worry in the sky, just stars to count and a moon to light my way I want to get away Away from these clothes that block my senses, my breathing, my movement Nothing is real but the things man makes, An image, some plastic and paper Foolish intents to reminisce of expenses We paid on our long way to the present. I want to go where the people are free to show how they feel. To cry and shout, to hug and kiss To laugh and confide without the worry of 'bout what it ain't. Where we enjoy what is steady, while not being in constraint Where everything that I am, is what I need to be... © 2013 Al R. ArceAuthor's Note
