But sometimes I am

So overburdened I
am unable to move

When, in this dark

Letter.
Ryan O'Leary Nov 2024
Dear Amy G
2nd Nov 2024

Have you had any success

with your insomnia.


I hear there is a Bach remedy

others swear by acupuncture

even yoga.


How does you partner cope,

some say it is like sleeping

with a schizophrenic.


I was told that a dark room

with the sound of water

is a tremendous help.


Yours Truly

Vivify Cognizant.

Dreams
Ryan O'Leary Nov 2024
Not to be confused
with aspirations

R.E.M. is a bi-product
of something troubling

A nocturnal rehearsal
for a diurnal audition

Rock bottom was the script
and I decided to play the part.

Besides lines circles

Israel’s sky war was a

duck shoot or spearing

fish in bowls. But from

the horizon, a (rescent

boomerang appeared.


Darkness to light, evil

Eye for an eye, and all

their lies, blind no more

because the world has

been given back its sight.

Into The Dark Shadow
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
Going from bright to shade
Effects the eyes efficiency.

It’s an adjustment both ways
Darkness into light equally.

Psychology though one can
Easily be out of switch reach.

Illuminating the mind is never
An easy task, it’s invisible pain.

This too will pass is an old wives
Tale, just as cod liver oil in the ear!

Scale of one to ten can’t be used
to fathom depression, by depth

The rope in the boot of my car
could be used to measure it's weight

Solitaire
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
I don’t like solitude,
Being alone yes, but
With a support cast.

Blank pages bother
Me, it is why I have
auditions for the parts.

Every letter word even
Punctuation mark are
My poetic characters.

Sometimes I’ve need to
Choreograph individual
Lines for different roles.

Often, groupings can be
Adverse to my formations
Without rhyme or reason.

Rehearsals in the form of
Editing scripts are best if
Done during final recitals.

Gauging audience reaction,
Now that is an art form in
Itself, there is no clapometer.

At least, I never got a round
of applause asked for encores
Or got a standing ovation.

It's a rap
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
Fear is the repetitious
echo of premeditated
anticipated responses to
unrehearsed situations.

Feeling pain but doing it
anyway is a part in every
script of which directors
give us no time to practice.

--Faux Façade--
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
He concealed his fears
  from all and tried to
hide them from myself.

    Light and people
  were his centurions,
sleep, the drawbridge.

Surrounded by a moat
  behind masonry walls,
(demons gate crashed).

This poem is dedicated to
Robin Williams, who wrote
a wonderful note on his AA
big book. in it he says.

" I want to help people be

Shedding Light
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
I was of the impression
that light could not be
stored and we all know
that by putting clocks
back 60 mins is a form
of defoliating our days,
The Fall or Winter time
it is how they market it.

Benjamin Franklin said
that time was money,
but what do we get in
return for the loss of 1
hour, nothing, so I ask,
what’s the point in any
one trying to save time?

Tide Lines
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
Ebb and Flo share a place
where equator meets water
where surf rises beyond tide
lines where winds trade where
roaring forties abuse doldrums
where a Gulf Stream meanders
Ebb and Flo are yin and yang
Opposites forces attract positive
And negative react they heave **
The oceans highs and lows hence
We have spirit levelled tide lines.

The Act Of God
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
If God didn’t exist
He would have to
Be invented.

Humans need an
Acknowledgement to
Function

Atheism / agnosticism
Are merely antonyms
Of the religious synonym

When one says ‘ I don’t
Believe in God ‘ they are
Recognizing its existence

So long as we have flags
And anthems and borders
We will have God’s

The world is divided not by
Delineated lines on a map
But by segregated systems

If we say we don’t like Muslims
We are recognizing their deities
thus accepting there is a God

A passport need not be a 32
Page document it is colour it
Is accent it is our impression

We are all Gods, we create life
We destroy life we cause catastrophe
We create obstacles for lesser beings

Superior beings exist in minds of those who
Are governed and every time we full stop
Their sentence, we are the god we despise.

Religion is a rules based institution that we
Kick against we rebel we excommunicate
Ourselves, but we must not then dominate.

When a migrant a refugee or fugitive asks
For asylum , do we say, God got you into this
Predicament, denounce and you can enter.

Do we really want a totally homogeneous
Society, is that naturally occurring anywhere
In nature, does evolution even consider it?

God is just performing a role for those who
Are unable to act for themselves and the
Show is merely a rehearsal with encores.

----Watch Dogs----
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
Ce n'est pas possible, de
filer comme les Anglais,
or take French leave, when
one is housesitting canines.

As days of departure near,
they begin to detect a vibe;
routines change, boxes are
filled and items disappear.

They identify tones; velcro,
buckles and dome fasteners
mean walkies, but zip sounds
longer than flies, are suitcases.

We don’t all get to be birthed

Yet dying is as sure for

Everyone as killing be to some.

Animals have no consciences

Sows will eat their piglets -

But for my mother being Catholic

And I of Irish extraction by caesarean

There is a good chance that I

Would never have been a poet

Because she told me later in life

That she wished I was never born

Et pour ça, peut-être mon fête de

Naissance n’était jamais célèbre.

Staying The Same
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
Regimes, diets, exercising,

cutting out, minutes on the

lips forever on the hips, and

all that jargon. Weighing in,

holes in belt, mirror mirror.


But what if, one does not

want to loose pounds kilo’s

or any other unit used to

measure gravity and earths

pull on the mass of what we

struggle with every **** day.


What if, all we ever wanted

is staying exactly the same.


How does one manage that?

Tim used to believe in

Tooth Fairy, even the

Hollow cost, but all has

changed since chosen's

committed a genocide,

famine and Holocaust

against the Palestinians.


How, he asked, could

a people who profess

to have suffered the H

word, be able to inflict

it on another, it is not

possible, so he went

from a believer to a

doubter to a denier.


This I believe, is what

many people suspect.


No, they are not anti-

semantic even though

your are septic but do be

aware that you are pathetic.


So, Mr Not in yahoo,

it's obvious that there’s

a shift in opinion about

the Zions and you have

brought it on yourselves.


Some are emphatic that

they can't be sympathetic

because occupation shows

you, as evil, and, barbaric.

Empathy
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
I’ve got a plume

from the wing of

a phoenix


I can write words,

that fly higher

than lies


I’ve got a well,

from which I can

siphon,


Tear drops from

those, with

red crying eyes


I’ve got a plume

from the wing of

a phoenix


And I’ve got a page

without margins

or lines


I can write words,

that no one has

heard of


And I can quill those

who ploughed out

their vines


I’ve got a plume

from the wing of

a phoenix


And I come from a land

where fair play

we enshrine


Yes I’ve got the plume

from the green grass

it fell on


And I promise it's

nib, will never

resign

Renaissance
Ryan O'Leary Oct 2024
.    Yahya Sinwar    .
     ( 1962 -          )


Up from ancient ruins

in Phoenix flight

But first, a severed arm

must pick another fight

Stick from stones his

final reach

For those who came

but could not preach.



He rose and rose

beyond defeat

Where lark and passing

cloud can meet

Now, a beacon on his

newly conquered hill

Gives all who struggle

hope, but more, the will.
