A candle dripping wax
that overflows my mind
boiling away at the fabricated
simplicity that controls us
Almost every word we hear
is filtered through the barriers
of language, society,
and standards.
Paul Jones Nov 2017
thinking
thinking is
thinking is not
thinking is not what
                                    you
think it is
you think it is
but it is not
what is it not
                        you
but what are
                        you
if you are not
thinking
a
human
              being

you've been thinking

but if
            you
asked a thought
am i
          you
it would reply
                           no

i'm just passing through

This is experimental but I'm working on a new structural form. It is not free verse and will have rules. It will be playful and rhythmic.  

This explore's 'thinking' but I will have to see if it works with other concepts. It seems like abstract words work well.

the thing about me
is i will push you out the door
slam it
yet look back
and hope you open it again

You caught my gaze
from across the room
The way your phone
cuts your face
with a light
You're beautiful

Would I ever leave you?
No. I could not quiet
the gray ghosts
that would haunt me.
Would I ever leave you?
Oh, would I consign my
soul into a
deathless state?
I would not.
The only gentle sound is shared.

We’ll Call It Global Warníng

Global warming
Is alarming
'cept when hot
when it should not.
It's always thrilling
With a spring that comes in March.
Of course,
One may be wrong, but
What's a robins' song
Doing in garden mine
When everyone in Sweden
Knows it's win-
                           ter?

I dont talk about the past
There is no point
Life is happening really fast
Where's the joint?

Live it while its here,
There is nothing to fear
Why not shed a tear?
You never know when end is near

Observation is the key
No one cares about you or me
There's pleasure in the pain
There's dancing in the rain
Silence is louder than words
It can help you hear the birds

So, alone isn't lonely
Its the least of what she's shown me

Free is the ultimate
I'm pretty sure I'm far from it

My hear will grow wings
And fly far away
The true bands will sing
Or will I stay?
HAPPY SINGLES AWARENESS DAY

Loving is a scary
Feeling
Today is happiness
And tomorrow is saddness.
Saddess of knowing,
That everthing ends
Regardless of time.
