REFLECTION (Remove filter)
Hit and Miss
Contradiction is inevitable.
Perspective relative.
Monotony is life.
Amnesia saves
drugs,
a selfish freedom from the past.
White open spaces,
existence and impermanence.
Meaninglessness.
The great abandonment,
a tragedy,
the greatest agony,
random nostalgia.
Simplicity,
blue open skies, open arms,
open mind over mind
over matter mad as a hatter
no matter the weather,
I don’t ...

Phoenix
Phoenix
You set my sails ablaze,
How can I not feel hate?
My wings are singed, I cringe,
My throat is dry, I cry,
Why did you cause such pain?
Did you not my trust my ways?
My reflection is maimed,
The hope you did deflate,
The energy fades,
The Light of Heaven diverts away,
I guess I’ll have to wait,
The urgent message on delayed flight,
The r...

If I Could Rewind Time
If time could go backwards I would change a whole lot
the misery experienced and the Untied knots
things would be different but better you'll agree
because I would know what would hurt and benefit me
times are hard and will only get harder
life is short and will only get shorter
so I must correct my mistakes and just stop accepting this sorrow
Because I know I have fewer toda...

Tribulation
If living for subsisting
or existing to survive
Purpose stays elusive
any sense can’t derive
Going about in vortex
moving at rapid pace
No time for indulgence
in own personal space
Stuck in same tedium
since been on to avoid
On face near amiable
but zest seems devoid
In inferred conspiracy
end's nowhere in sight
No choi...

A Lifetime Of Nights In A Welsh Town
Asleep beneath a sodium tongue,
Damp synthetic fire-licked stone,
Fake stone,
Hand made stone,
Carpeting ugly and commodious city streets,
Voices of young men,
Smoke filled lungs and wide wild eyes,
Sanguine chatter-boxes,
Impatiently idea making,
Dreaming, cold-air-breathing, nights on end without closed eyes,
Hearts open,
Some happy numbness in the fingers and toes,
All may rest ...

The Rational Animal
I did not ask,
I did not ask to emerge from the firmament,
I did not ask to grow, and learn, and make mistakes and start over,
I did not ask to feed a whole soul by way of wide-eyed wonder,
I did not ask,
To consider my self,
To bear the burden of loving a stranger,
To practice the discipline of forgiving,
I did not ask,
To find my way in the dark and reach out to touch the only force...
