TIME (Remove filter)
A New Nursery Rhyme
Tick, tock, distant star
How I wonder when you are
Just a timepiece in the sky
Your every 'now' another lie!
[Following on from the last poem and the 'time' theme]

lethal woman
paradise is lethal
paradise is a set of lethal eyes
hell is a wheel of hell
hell is a wheel of lethal eyes
a woman is a wheel of a woman
a woman is a wheel of hell
a wheel is a wheel of hell
a wheel is a wheel of lethal eyes
a wheel is a wheel of paradise
the time of a wheel is the time of a lethal woman
a wheel is a time of a wheel
a wheel is a time of paradise
a hell of a time is a...

Thinking
i am numb to the outside
as it whirls around me
passing me by
an i frozen in time?
or flying so fast
that the blur begets stillness?
Either answers the same, for
the moments melt into morrow
and now is never again
The day, elusive
like the mouse
and the dark night, quick
and clean as a cleaver
the only time
I stop and think
is…

Miracles
Around me, the unseen miracle
Of the past: the birds in the tree—the hills—the clouds—the people passing by,
I am at the centre of my time
And they are all in the past
What stranger miracles are there?

Single Speed
Now that the weeks and days and months fly by,
Propelling us still faster to our end,
The needed action is to hold up time,
To slacken off, or better still, suspend
Its uncouth march into the wild beyond
And celebrate its capture as its bond.
But if time should comply, what must we do?
Display ourselves and prance around a pole,
Or willingly obey a quiet void?
Time,...

self-made is self-man made
self-made is self-man made glory
joy is self-made joy
joy is a joyful self-made
joy is a joyful glory
glory is a joy of glory
glory of joy,glory of self-made
man is man made glory
a mass of glory is a mass of man made
a mass of glory is a mass of energy
energy is a mass of energy
energy is a mass of joy
energy is a joy of energy
mass is a joy of energy

Kaleidoscope Memory
Like the first mirror reflects whats before it
I live in the past
Anchored by my commitments
I failed to take that class
The angle of time constricts at a point
Silent in its steps despite how vast
Ranging millenia little by little
The promise is a lie you can not outlast
Through the scope I inspect my thought
Regret is not the word because I have made peace
Feel the grip of anxi...

The Three Wishes
An old man, burdened by life's hardships, sits alone on a park bench, lost in sorrow. A stranger, offering three wishes, appears before him, promising a chance at happiness. But what begins as a fleeting opportunity soon turns into a journey of regret, as the man’s impulsive wishes lead him to face the true cost of his desires. Based on Erich Kästner's fairy tale, this thought-provoking tale explo...
