Escape

He tried to scribble a word or two                         
But his thoughts escaped and flew faster
Than the pen could keep pace and make him do…

He tried to catch her like that lovely butterfly
But before he could come near it
Escaped him and flew away so high…

He tried to clasp her in his hands
But she escaped his grasp little by little
Like an hour-glass the tiny sands…

He tried to comb through dense crowd
For that face that could launch a thousand ships
But escaped his eyes never to be found…

He tried to look for that brightest star in the sky
To see her winsome wink and charming twinkle
But she escaped him as the thick, dark clouds rolled by…

He tried to imprison her in his heart
But like a bird craving to be liberated and set free
Escaped the warm nook in which she was caught

Escape…escape…is all she wants in everything
So vague, so obscure and so elusive...
Why is she so impervious to his deep yearning?

  10. Excellent take on the escape topic. Seeing some of the other comments, I wonder if it is being interpreted as you intended. My interpretation - a lover lorn man's longing for his elusive beloved. Not like he really wants to imprison her in a real physical sense or anything. To a lover, his beloved appears distant and unattainable. Look forward to your clarification on what your intended. Best of luck for Blog-a-ton.

  14. Dear Amity,
    NAMASTE!
    Good Morning,dear!
    However caring the hands may be,
    However rich the heart may be,
    Filled with love,
    I want to tell you dear,
    At times escape becomes inevitable!
    May be she loves him more than
    He loves her!
    It could be a sacrifice!
    Actions are beyond explanations.
    Dear,you know what,
    I can never escape from your thoughts!:)
    You have become so dear to me!
    I want you to be in high spirits!
    And enjoy love and friendship!
    Hey,me leaving tonight for Thrissur,
    But not escaping from anyone!
    [I would have,but changed my mind!]
    Wishing you a beautiful and lovely Sunday,
    Hugs and love,
    Sasneham,
    Anu

    yes, you maybe right...and I am glad for sharing such thoughts about my poem!

    Clarification? It's for the reader to treat it anyway he wants to, but what it is all about is intended for the writer, real or fiction!

    Thanks so much!

    Be dropping by your place soon!

  31. Your poem leaves me with a smirk. Maybe it is not that she is so impervious to his yearning, but it is that she is afraid that should she stop flying away, he will stop coming after her.

  32. I think we sometimes dont understand the meaning/significance of an escape, no??

  39. "Why is she so impervious to his deep yearning?"
    Well, because she is a woman. And it's hard to win a woman's heart. As simple as that. :D

    Beautifully written.
    All the best for batom!

  40. Probably she is just pretending :) She likes him but is afraid to accept. Liked the poem. Simple, sweet and nice :)
