Last Candle Before Dawn

The last little light goes out A little candle in the darkest corner A tealight flickering for so long On the brink, I think there is a little life left The suddenly poof, and it's gone for ever

Time

So many years since I last saw your face

Friends married and divorced

Still I imagine what if

Does someone still post you

Surprising sweet gifts

Memory a curious ravisher

Masquerade

There's a perfect conversation in each of our heads

Trapped as we each make way to our own beds

Why couldn't we say the words that would soothe?

We had to play games, masquerading our moves

One day we will see that it was mentally

Tiring, exhausting, distracting, strangely

Deep in our souls, to want for more

A simple life is something to adore

Little Poem Y

We can be anywhere
We can be anything
Days spent together
Always surprising
The future unknown
Always exciting
Curious pursuits
Never ending
Holding your hand
Keeping warm
All of the day
Feeling at home

Control

The summer of love reinforced to those in power the realisation that humans enjoying themselves cannot be coerced. Their sole aim is to control through fear. Scared of our neighbour, too scared to go out of our way to say hello. Numbers meaningless become stats and not fellows to help. Let's look smaller and see friendly people in need of an occasional helping hand.

Time to think

I am frustrated with myself when i am witty as often as i sound like i am making a judgement.

Selfless selfishness

I have morals but would i fight or fly if my cosy existence turned upside down. Would i fight for my principles or scurry behind my door? How can i test myself? I doubt myself with the knowledge that my fear of confrontation may get the better off me. In the time i live i an blessed with a stable nation, we are too soft. The world can be a tough place. I worry that the compromise between enlightenment and aggression leads us to living in a state of manipulation where the aggressors pray on the apathy. Enlightenment shouldn't ignore the awareness that an inner steel is required.

Nothing looks real

How do we educate?
Against the state
Keep true to yourself
Unrealistic expectations
Torturing the next

Looking up
To a computer screen
not a healthy way to dream

I want a world where children are set free
Not wrapped in our chains to comfort us

Complicating zen

Riding
To a place
Where i can go
And lose my mind
To hideaway

Escape the game
Meditate
Playing my mind
For a time
I'm going away
No reality

Escape the game
Meditate
Playing my mind
For a time
I'm going away
To reality

oblivion
Is washing up
I will be
among the reeds

Stationary
From creeping death
Breaking down the stones
Rolling in my way

Awareness

My brain is wired pretty good for solving problems. A person is not a problem to be solved. Ergo I struggle with rapport!

Self amusement

If i cant change the world then I'm going to make sure i can enjoy amusing myself.

Use the force

Short circuit, flip the switch
Stunned to silence

A preconception of how you think

people judge

All the time
Blinds you to my open mind

The only sin is theft

Apathy is the devil
God is the love
Inside each of us

Simple to find
If willing to try

Everyone is shouting
Why don't we whisper

Easily controlled are the impatient

Legislate and sleep tight
Pander to the fear
Education is a way
Harder but worthier

Collective Wealth

9 million in debt, because they are brainwashed into instant gratification.

Poverty is 60% median, but compare this to the 3rd world.  Is it that the country is richer than before but our political and media overlords wish to make us feel guilty to control us?

We are all books
What amazing story will you tell?
Give me time and an open ear
Slow down, don't rush
Listen to what your mind will show you

You can't force it
You can't make me
When you can stand alone
Everyone will see
We all create, when we ignore limiting beliefs.

Just like books
Give me time
Open ears
An open mind

You can't force it
Or make it
When you can stand alone all will see
We all create
Dreams
And rise above the apathy

Diverse stories
Will you tell?
Human mysteries
Magic spells

Sharing, scaring, fire, liars
In the square

Its not what you know, its what you are willing to try

It is easier to take care of someone when you are the best you can be
When you dance with her you will know
Chemistry
My happiness rises from the floor
I want to show my appreciation
Electric fingertips lead the way
Dance the drum

Test the way the party flows down the hill whilst we sing around the trees

Random insult

When the world is cold I want to look for fires

Once more around
Arms in the air
Dream of the sea
Sunset or rise?

Silence is stronger than pride
Some beauty fades as you age
beauty inside never dies

Love & Sex

You're playing with the voice in my head
crossing once in a while
remember what is good
I don't need u, I don't need anyone
It doesn't mean that I wouldn't want more fun
Love and sex it's complicated
feeling discombobulated

the most memorable days are always tinged with sadness
to me that sounds like madness
greek myths are told to prepare us for life
takes time to appreciate the strife

Our paths crossed
Attraction altered courses
We had fun
When you are gone
There are memories to savour
Hope for safe journeys
We may meet again
And when we do
Hope life has treated us well

Age and intelligence

Your world is so much smaller when younger, so easier to think you know it all.

As i find more self awareness i find i want more to be alone.

What i fear is going senile and too frail to enjoy activities.

Beauty fades as you age
your beauty inside takes over

Progress

Is it age as ive reached a point where I no longer want to watch and don't enjoy as much taking part?

Im rushing time to get to the experiences. Would it be better to savour the routine that bores or wish away life that is a means to an end?
