Words I bleed

Poem Artwork

 
 

Fantasy a lure into which I fall 
over and over beckon it's call 
Chasing me away from realiity 
away from home and security

Away, further away  
from today I set sail 

Away, further away 
eyes on another day 

Away, further away 
live to see another day

Imagination drag me by the ear 
away from sweetness I fear 
Run into passion, into glory 
off  to heed another story
 

Away, further away  
from today I set sail 

Away, further away 
eyes on another day 

Away, further away 
live to see another day

 
Creative streak draws me in
to find common ground and begin
Head in the clouds, words I bleed
to fill empty paper is what I need

Away, further away  
from today I set sail 

Away, further away 
eyes on another day 

Away, further away 
live to see another day

I think we would all like to escape into our fantasies. I sense a bit of danger in your poem, suggesting that you find ordinary living too dull to bear. Few people are able to live out their fantasies, like you seem to suggest.
