Frames Of Escapism

He walks into the familiar room

Gaudy flashes of tired souls shift upon the floor

Dizzied from the sultry smell of cheap alcohol and illusioned dopamine

Complemented by a rowdy tune, making its way through the speakers to those heedless ears

Broken wine glasses lie on the ground

He watches,

As the dark liquid slowly makes little paths of its own

Through old boots and faded high heels

Lost in a parted dream to withhold...


Taking one more step,she dashes another mile

The slender lines of each lane merge with her seared panting

She battles with both hands of the clock

Desperate to reach the finishing line that constantly alters beneath the hazy horizon

Though medals of gold embrace her neck

She had never tasted victory on her deadend tongue

So she runs to find the true feeling of appreciation she devotedly needs...


He turns left,hoping to be right this time

Numbed shoulders head towards the freshly prosaic labyrinth

Frozen snares of broken mirrors haunt him once again

Virulent laughters come sliding from every crack

He knows they will stop soon

Yet what he fears is their echos clinging onto the silent circles under his eyes,

Darkened brutally by the lonely nights without dreams of amethyst to spare...


Her eyes adjust to the melanoid moonlight

Dried pupils search around the suffocating room

Blinds drawn shut

Limb bodies stacked every corner quietly rusting without a soul

Tall walls taste of their lost tears,kept hidden of shame

Another day chisled by their alienated ,tawny bones

Horrified by the scene,she tries to let out a bitter scream

Yet later she realises the glue of her own fears drying on her cracked lips...


Frames of escapism hammered on the wall

Around every corner of the street

Among the muddy footsteps on the snow

Was the winter so cold?

When did we become strangers to our own fingerprints?

When did we begin running away from the reflections inside?

Maybe, its time for a change...


Lets pour ourselves a glass of introspection

Get drunk by insight

Lets run with our eyes closed

Feel the wind on our hair,the warmth through our muscles

Lets look straight at the mirrors

Find the right way through the reflection as a whole,not the cracks

Without fear,lets open the blinds

Show the sunlight the beauty of our tears

Lets not hammer more frames,

But nails of hope instead...
