A Dare Mind Escape Poem by Romeo Della Valle
A Dare Mind Escape
Whenever I feel very low,
Tired and rushing against the crowd
In this big jungle of concrete, steel
And glass called: New York City,
It comes to my mind one wish:
To climb the Empire State Building
Like King Kong did with bravery! ..
Once all the way on the top,
A higher and quieter place,
Where I may stay unmoved
By the world down below,
I would feel totally free
Like a melancholic and soft wind…
My words may become softer,
Fluttering the breeze
And well protected in my new nest,
Where nothing can reach me,
Out of sight and touch of the crowd,
I would most likely realize
The World is not so tough…
People below behave like horses,
Clicking heels against tracks
Of pavement led by reigns
That I cannot clearly perceive…
These people seem to glide
On railways of motion,
All riding a freight train
Of contemplation…
Surprised perhaps to be noticed
By the people down below,
I cast a warning stare
Through the fading distance,
Silent detachment
And separate defiance of a struggle
Blended with a non reconciled pain…
Tired by the everyday routine,
I hope I can find peace and security,
All the way up there on my new nest
Where I would have the chance
To discover the real secret of:
Distance, Height and Space…

Romeo I see what you mean. I love the sense of travel both mentally and physically. Some excellent lines I enjoyed: All riding a freight train of contemplation… Blended with an un-reconciled pain… Superb write,10 out of 10
I would really like to discover those secrets..distance, height and space. Once in a while we still feel the need to be alone... to think, to observe, and realize what life really is.. another great composition sir Romeo..(salute)
Wonderfully written poem Romeo! I too have wondered about going where few has gone before. Out of sight, and a space where I'd be alone! I too gave this a 10'. Well deserved I might add.
there are times when we all would like to rise above all this turmoil. Just a peaceful place and look down upon it.
Amazing! a Truly fascinating write! Constructed so well and perfectly vivid - Love it!
This poem is so deep. It's exactly how I feel down inside where no one can see. I am almost in tears. I do love the way you word all of the feelings you have. Only certain people understand. As for me - I found it to give me peace. Michele Kostelnik Parrillo How I long for peace...
The place we crave, to create our muse, often we search for just one, where no one can break the silence as you think of what to write...the space...the height..is where ever we chose.
