your blind 18/6/4
Mark Wanless Jan 2022
lost in the desert of noise
eating greasy gobs

i walk 18/6/12
Mark Wanless Jan 2022
into the world i walk
again and again
or only once
i do not know

i dream this existance
the manifest now
i can change this existnce
the manifest now

but some  choices shorten
years of life
and causes the pain
i want to avoid

sometimes i don't know where to go
who or what is to blame
for my misery
guess and guess again

or see and see and see
what you don't want to
and call this life a memory
alive

Mark Wanless Jan 2022
i see the nevermore

never happened never will
   yet it drives my mind
to distraction of cognition
   what else is there
but a choice moment by moment
   a difficult task

mirror 18/7/2
Mark Wanless Jan 2022
i went to the narrow bridge
it was not that narrow
scaled the cliffs of death
i lived
went to the cavern of sorrow
cried and cried and cried
walked to the very end
it did not end
pondered the greatest riddle
the keeper gave up first

woke up looked in the mirror

change 18/9/3

the little child
in the tiny bed
went to sleep one night
and dreamed

of a magic kingdom
"here you are now"
said the unicorn
"why did you come now"

and the child said
"i wanted to see what was beyond"
"beyond what" said the unicorn
"beyond what i see" the child said

a large bear then entered the circle
"there are always things beyond what you can see
little child who can tell the future
good night and sleep well my child peace "

"brother bear where does change arrive from
but the place beyond the known "
said the little child in her dream

18/9/20

have i said this before
have i dreamed this before
or is it now,,,,,,,, i say
a word or two

call the name of the demon
call the name of the lord
where is the truest meaning
in the beginning was the word

i will live forever
in the spiritual thoughts of many
i will live till i don't remember
the fragrant thoughts of many

peace be unto you my friend
abscense of conflict is peace
external circumstance is not the end
but soft is internal surcease

can there be 21/12/?
Mark Wanless Jan 2022
thought a half and
   did a half and
      dreamed a half again

worked until the sun
   was set slumped home
      in the dark

can there be a lesson learned
   in a hundred years
want to go to heaven but
   the devil owns my fears

in the future i am
   blessed blessed as
      man can be

walking to the childrens
   park my daughters
      hand in mine

went to work with
   my true mates
      good days sweat again

can there be a lesson learned
   in a hundred years
want to go to heaven but
   the devil owns my fears

Mark Wanless Jan 2022
ooh ooh ooh
   i've  got brain problems
over and over again
   i walk forward

and follow the self
   of the bear
and the dog
   going forward

many years i was
   where i am now
oh what a manifest destiny
   i dream of it all

do not worry
   no problem here
name me a loner
   a wildman

the hill 21/11/3
Mark Wanless Jan 2022
the grass on the hill
speaks nothing until
our ears open with age
and the demons dark will
loses meaning

the soft melody
of piece sends a thrill
to the harbory of will
and causes a self
into being

action a skill learned
from birth to the grave
we pay not attention
to continous pain
and we travel
