dings and whistles from the slot alert him escape -
sit before my image enter its wild wolf canyon escape

winding road in lofty forest landscape
beckon her - leave him for my green escape

triple x signs promise writhing bodies
heavy breathing and dark dank escape

the flute lay still of the silent table sparkling
sweet melodic memories of fingered escape

the frothy surging surf traces the seam of the sea -
bathe in my bosom, wrap your self in my fluid escape

locked door soft light from below no sounds
inside creative energy sparks a poetic escape

on the placid lake he casts his hopes
awaits the tug - he and his prey escape

she stands eyes closed, smiling face turned upward
feels the breeze in her hair thanks God for this sweet escape

he runs in the field of goldenrod tears stream
and he screams a desperate entreaty for escape

the sylvan spirits flown from the mountain trees
into the green glen whisper as angels - escape!

Author's Note: Author’s Note: This is my first modest attempt at writing in the Ghazal poetic form. Thanks to poet Rob Kistner whom I met on HelloPoetry.com for the inspiration for this poem. Rob is an extraordinary talent who writes with a free yet disciplined artistic brush. This is the URL for his poetry on that website: https://hellopoetry.com/Artheo/
