Most dreams are unrealised
to have them is to be agonised:
on the here and now, focus
that's an easier route to happiness
Some of us are lucky
To be by a golden bucket of peace
It’s calming
It brings a feeling of beatitude
When we immerse ourselves
We can lose our daily troubles
Slipping into a special place
Of safety
Of belonging
Of familiarity
It’s a place one doesn’t want to leave
Ever
Have you found yours?
Treasure it
It’s precious
It’s rare
Believe
In possibilities
Light up the world
Life is layers upon layers
of memories
in the labyrinth
of the mind
of every kind-

a present event
or a feeling
or a mood
an imagination
will trigger
their appearance
which will have
to be processed
or attended-
it's helpless
to fight or desist -

memories upon memories
coalesce into a maze
in the kaleidoscope
of time- one's personal life
is written and shaped
in some strange image.
Sinking under the weight of industrial wreckage
a victim of technological advances
we win and we lose

Plant-based plants
churning out
plant-based foods,

where are the protests?

stop killing our Kale
save our greens
love your aubergines

not happening yet
but it will

and
then it'll back to
steak
bacon
pork and lamb
and I'm as sure as I can be
about that.
Trimming fat
off his soul
he searched
for the bone

With every
new slicing
his consciousness
honed

All waste in
the fire
to sizzle
and fry

Excesses
like smoke
rise forgotten
— incised
