Here. My cell,
royal road, open door
to the heart of it all laid bare.
Here. Outside.
Visual, olfactory, reminisce...
Oh! My memory.
Takes me back
We could be anywhere.
All time, all at once, always.
When I was there,
we could trial out a smile
learn to walk, learn to laugh
at stumbles.
Then we'd run,
kinetic, distancing through
yellow fields
you were chasing.
Takes me back.
We could be anywhere.
All time, all at once, always.
You can paint the past
Sepia or monochrome
It's all the same,
just choose the shades that count.

On Sparrow Hills

On Sparrow hills, we watched the burning streets,
all the chaos, the sublime and absurd we'll leave
Waiting on a new sunrise,
wide tired eyes, hearts full of love.
On Sparrow hills, thinking there's nothing new.
A change was made, witnessed by us merry few.
Now a peace resides behind
a fragile, uncertain eternity.
On Sparrow hills, we let the past go free.
Shouted out our lungs and took to air to flee.
Left aside some words and lines in times,
for times, as strange as these.
On Sparrow hills...

All in a day...
Trying to hear it all
so many sides a
mind
full.
Heartfelt and trying this,
this test instilling what
life
is.
Experience is our school.
The blank paper, this scrawl...
My own stamp...
So many voices ringing
hard to make sense
beginning.
Lift up a filter,
sift.
Know what to keep,
shift.
Maybe
easier to build a wall,
but that's not right at all...
I'll go on listening...

Unravel

Tuesday's come again,
wired mind, loose pen.
My philosophies grow
a life of own,
by T.V. light, I'm blind.
Peace in life in hindsight.
Little truths start to bloom,
pollen on wind.
In this disquiet,
the self drifts by
unnoticed, unheralded.
Am I alone in this?
Like a traveller in strange town,
someone else for a time.
Let me a be a fiction,
always a sleep never in dream.
The flowers from the garden
were never real...
Daffodils they survive me.
Maybe in spite of me...
In this disquiet,
the self drifts by
unheralded, unnoticed.
Am I alone in this?
Life's a ball of yarn
caught up in a tangle.
Unravel, unravel
in disquiet.

Tabula Rasa

Drowning
in a sea of ideologies.
You must be right
if your voice projects the loudest.
Ignorant, half or fully informed
Morality in public display
to be popular or just contrary.
Can you save the world,
do no harm and be happy?
Why learn?
When it's all written down somewhere.
We weren't
born digital and nor was thought.
Digest and digest again!
You can't be satiate from a single crumb!
Little info, more time.
More info, no time to use.
Think I'll just go home
Switch the world off.
