Return

New day, new dawn
and I am lost
in a place known
location determined
situation strange
mind deranged
fate arraigned
a joker’s jest
body protests
hearts arrests
nothing but pain
memory lane
why have I come back?

Day and night

Hours, minutes, seconds last
Sometimes slow, sometimes fast
Happiness evaporates in moments
Sorrow, sadness, longing lasts

Turnstile

Each moment

Numerous arrival, departures

Sapiens and ants, similar

Names, traces of been here

Before, now, afterwards

Life, death, disease,

Sorrow, jubilation,

deep, shallow

Contraptions, contradictions

such is the daily rush

Brain is mush, and

time just passes

without regard to

wasted youth

blasted truth

how did I get here

Day

Night has arrived
Where did the day go
Another day pass
Without much done
No randomness
Nothing to excite
Grey skies, no sunlight
Moments left
without saying much
No craziness
None left in lurch
Storm didn’t come
World didn’t end
No bouquets arrived
No flowers to send
Really wish something
should have happened
A crisis would be nice,
Have brains to lend
Looking through the window
a passerby and carriages
Thinking about nothing
Loving or loathing
Just a solemn, blank stare
Another day passes
Without much to care

Absent

lost in thoughts
of future and past
wasting precious present
ready to resent
as present will not last

Commute

One short journey, two thoughts…

1. Silly one first
Train train go away
Come again another day
Heart just wants to stay
No hard toil, just pure play

2. Slightly pensive one –
When the journey commences
we look behind
find nothing but
dust of our thoughts
hardship we brought
by thinking too much
not acting enough
before the moment has passed

Self indulgence – bear with me :-)

Why lie low
go with the flow
never let it go
a painting
a brush
evening bleakness
morning rush
early youth
late crush
curtains
light
blindness
sight
underground
in flight
on the surface
from a height
shooting stars
phoney wars
new planes
vintage cars
never stop
clicking shots
that’s what
you’ve got
rest, ignore
the whole lot
