Peter Robert Hamilton

Life is a speeding missile
We're all used to the dismissal
You got nothing to lose
So let the the fear come loose
So it can go elsewhere
If you want something with me, tell me
Secrets should be kept secret
Unless it's this
Don't wait until it's too late
When I have a wife and potential kids
Eating on fine China plates
Make your move
I'm perpetually unaware
Or don't want to assume
So don't mark this down as doom
By not initiating anything
Because I'll give everything
When that connection occurs
I can be opened to all of the allures.

Profoundly Haunt

Profoundly Haunt

his eyes do profoundly
haunt
they're pitch black
and of soul so terribly
gaunt

a chill runs down the
spine
on seeing grounds black
one can't bear their deathly
opine

I feel he's not
human
the black displays
no essence of a living
span

a
black
inexplicable
a
black
of
hollowness
a
black
grotesque
his
eyes
of
nothingness

A. Yes. Eight

Chaos around.
Silence splashes.
The lonely soul
wanders to and fro.
O God hold my finger
And take me
To your mosque.

Window shopping n eyes falling in questions.

Window shopping n eyes falling in questions.

Looking at the shop
Prolong looking
Wanting everything
Desires rises...
Attractions...
Cheers to attractive
Eye catching
Comforts
!!

Closed the eyes
For a while
Changed
next
window
location
...
..
.
Again
...
..
.

After dinner, a rest...is more than sufficient...mind speaks
Desires and necessity...
And the world of market...
Humans interdependent with the chains ...of comfort
Level by level
After all
Life icing with luxuries

Then mind speaks
Ice your mind
Relax
Cheers to beauty of mind

Pleasure of mind
Or
Pleasure of body
...!!!

Now dreaming
Over the quest of self
Other possibilities

Another mind told

What is darkness..

Is it absence of light???

Poets a question.

Poets a question.

Please does anyone know a poem
Called " TheWhite Page " or "The Blank Page" or
Maybe verse.
I think it may have been written by Wallace Steven
Or a philosopher.
It is a beautiful piece about the impossibility
Of capturing thought.
And has echoes of the sea and crashing
Waves at bottom of cliffs.

Please can you find it for me
Before I depart .
It says so much
And I need to hear it one
Last time.

Love Mary ***
