Escaping A Lovely Prison Poem by Anita Atina

Escaping A Lovely Prison

Rating: 5.0


Bashing against the cushioned walls

Of his lovely prison


Bloodless agony escapes

Quiet lips


Knowing that a blue sky waits yonder

With torn wings, on a sinking ship


Drowning in a bitter sea watching the breath of life

Escape in pretty bubbles


Waiting for the escape hatch to open

Knocking desperately at the door


Escaping a lonely prison isn’t easy

When its cushioned and pretty!

Anita, this is so well expressed and it rings such bells for me right now. The word 'quiet' speaks so well (for me) to disempowerment - the loss of one's 'voice', as does the sense of drowning. Beautifully put! David.

You know I understand his dilemma. Only I'm on the outside looking in, I think
