Tomorrow is the future
Today is the last day
Yesterday I made promises
Last week I stayed away
Last month I caved in
To moodiness and lack of discipline
Look forward to the day after tomorrow
When I shall bathe in glory and sin
(c)near_lane7

Fascinations then obsessions
The latter be short-lived
Resurgence of sensibility
Once omens observed
Mans' intellect ignored
Baseless assumptions
floating about
Easily dismissed
To be forgotten in an eternal shroud
(c)near_lane7

Selfish thoughts of failure
The moons face did grip my stare
Many times I look at it
It's calm illumination
Relieved anguish ignited hopes' flare
Really tough to be selfish
Myself just a speck of desire
There is no lack
Until a loved ones' worry
Releases me brings me close
Inform and explore
Appointments made
No explanations
Nuclear medicine
What are they looking for
She is anxious
Lets me feel it
Fear of enclosure four to five sixty
They say the procedure
Or test as you will

She asks me to drive her to stay until finished
'That's what I did for you
when you busted your leg'
She beggingly whispered
I did sense her fear
Moments of closeness release me
From my own selfs' sphere

Their core in upheavle
Very deep the unrest
'whattodo' time has come
Hormones  searching
Surround
Then numb
Feeling edgy
Wanting it all
Freefall never
They stay on top
Strong their mind
Keeping on searching
Gone the pressure
Reborn and proud

Nights are long
You fail to breathe
Stretching your arm
It hurts what's wrong
Must exercise in time
Muscles did dwindle
Lifting and bending
Do you have to.....
Of course
It's never too late
Be again strong
In the morning dew
A whistle a song

Miss a good conversation
Knitting sweaters
Warm and fun
Care for warmth
Earth's children
Little baby soon the one
You will keep knitting
Feel the giving
Find the wool
The special kind

See a child wrapped in your care
It shall pass on
Warmth and cozy
Grown and prospered into giving
To the next little one
Your sweaters live
Protect the many
A team a group
They identify
A mother knitting
A mother caring
Her own children grown
A deep sigh

Your cove has emptied
They are all fine
At a stage in life you have been
But you don't decline

Lust imagination realities you face
Alone to find partners
Storm into this new phase
You battle you struggle
For life you want bad

The day will rise out of darkness
Each morning new dawn
Chances are you may harness
This neverending hope to be reborn
(c)near_lane7

Sharing some thoughts
Within the restrictions
Of human expression
Not coming across
Yet do keep writing
So it is for myself
This moment
When I find truth
Just met this aincient fact
In a solitary booth

Risks been taken
Pushing hard
You are bidding
Dreams of triple money
Dancing visions
Go higher loose sight
You are on fire🔥
(c)near_lane7

She gave me this smile
In the doorstep
Did cut through my distance
Disturbed any absences
While being approached
For discussion and fun
Games and companionship
While in self-imposed isolation
Will turf and disband
A new morning
When I shall return a smile
Again saved by her charm
(c)near_lane7

Come lay beside me
Touch my quivering skin
Let's be one in a moment
Remembering our next of kin
They are safe
We have peace
Meeting again
We will survive
In our enclosure
We dance the freedoms' chive
(c)near_lane7

Demon's wage battles
In my dreams
I'm living
In the eye of a storm
Where winds bend tall trees
Where floods create mudplains
There is fear
There is grief
Out of control
Still I am dreaming
Yelling out
Flash awaken
To see darkness
Where there should be light
(c)near_lane7

City street in the sunlight
It is march it is bright
Cold draft still is lingering
Like a snake in my pass
A person in a bundle
Hunkered down for the hour
Sunrays are not brightening
Her stillness her need
Her face I try to contact
But to no avail
Her stare does find an angle
Towards the pavement
A waving bundle of hair
I do see her dish
Grab coins I can spare
Feeling in my cold hand
Slow motion slip
Her one eye opens
Following the toonies descent
Her stillness was interrupted
We did not connect
Am on my way and didn't look back

During conversation
Between young and old
Certain leader mentioned
His practices beyond scope
Human civilization
Dignity and charm
Not nurtured but contested

A young person gives a point
Thinks coarse language and lies
Are better than smooth talk
Or suffering cries

But how will that person ever know
If blinded by rhetoric
Out of the land of dystopia
My worn knee
Just made that hurting click
(c)near_lane7

Fill in the blanks
Intentions we don't see
Unless we read those lines again
The ones who hit us
Then left
Leaving an unease
Can it be true
Or plain speculation
Now reason
The possibilities
(c)near_lane7

Feel guilty of living
Express sin and glory
Made it this far
Able to compress the story

It wants to unfold
Not coming out
Seeking a rainbow
Hidden behind a cloud

There are others
joining and dancing
Invisible moves
Flashes glancing

One time to break out
Stopped in its tracks
Epic journeys
Back to back
(c)nea_lane7

Yes thats what we will do
Daylights embrace us
The morning sun
Shall warm our foreheads
We stretch
We need a moan
A release of our tensions
We love
It's us
We are home
(c)near_lane7

Down in the cellar?
Look up
towards the stairwells' light
(c)near_lane7

Radio tuned Sam Cook not to miss
'straight through my lovers heart's
My wife grabs my released fist
It's piercing it's vibrating
Makes us feel to dance
In the kitchen as in all places
We don't see a fence
No heartbreaks here
We are long over that
Our ages our times
Forever been put to the test
Swiping our feet
Holding on to each other tight
A break of duration
Enough to replenish
Our energies might
Good feelings and unison
For a minute or two
The time again paused

A plague has invaded
Sense and minds
Dig deeper race in circles
Relish trouble it excites
Pleasureseeker egoistic
Be now first
That's all what counts
Desire did take notice
If only one would abide
Eliminate all other senses
Going deep
There is nothing alike
Yet to burst and let go
A one freed when it left
So to see those lives' chances
Let them come
Let them be

Futuristic thinking in a time compressed
Accelerated by technology
Will robots annihilate humans gist?
Rapid decline in cultures destinations
Mass bullying less debating
You are with us or you perish
Alarm bells are ringing
Who is ringing the Bells?
(c)near_lane7

Humans' brain the engine
Manipulated and thrown
Into a fake world vision
Where violence has been sown
Powerful mobs
You hear their screams
They frighten a world
Yet behind the scenes
The instigators
The cowards
One of the last sick hurrays

The selfproclaimed king
Hoisted on this mound
Which is
As beautiful and tender
Breast of venus alike

All alone being up there
Is blasting his salvos
Into an empire of imagination
Truth to behold

Antlike creatures are scaling
Taking elevations then sliding

The mound is eroding
Its tenderness its hillsides
Dark and grey do we find

It turns into a spike
Creatures are falling
Taking with them the dirt

The spike becomes a needle
Only feared when its pointed
Let it lay down
Go back to the dirt

Imaginations become real
And the earth awakens
Once again

(c)flatfielder

Fear

Shyness
My torment
My mind disables my speech
I am not who I am

Hot flashes red ears
The sign of submission
To confusion
To signals
I didnt mean to transmit

I lose eye contact
I stumble
I say what i dont mean

Yet in writing
I feel connect
So much i cant stop
Ideas are clear
Am on the top

Still do turn away
Still searching for balance
Some stability at best

Now if I could shake the fear
How would my life be then

I always question

Aincient connections
Histories embedded
Spiritual pragmatisms
Species survivals
Instinctive actions
thrown out of balance
A new world order
When humans took reign
Compassionate struggles
Seams busting
Struggling movements for change
Dynamics shall find again
Shrinking self-righteousness
More hope and less pain
(c)near_lane7

Breathe in breathe out
Catch me if you can
Running towards the horizon
Where space meets our zen
The master came and spoke
Life changed
although we remained
In our world  of limitations
Felling dead but still kicking

Give me some answers
To questions I pose
Convince me of their merit
Be honest be bold
Let's start a debate
Research and find facts
Rather than fooling ourselves
By accepting unproven hacks
(c)near_lane7

You are out there.........




(c)near_lane7

No one speaks
Wars are no more
Holding hands in silence
From shore to shore
Acceptance creates freedom
How to get there
Never follow
Be yourself
Empty the square
(c)near_lane7

The day has come
We will meet
Most of us
Can we all sustain
Our intentions or bust
Can we find intimate moments
Where we share pain and guilt
Where we find joy and happiness
Where we rekindle our trust
Can we walk side by side
Feeling close and be fine
Where we want to lead and to follow
All the same in one steps time
No annoyance uninhibited laughter
Give us a few hours
We rebuild
There is still one central figure
When we part
We hope  we are all in this guild

Nourishing moment
Drop stuns a face
Rolling down a windshield
An amazing race
Earth's yearnings
For the nectar of Life
Witnessed on grey mornings
When hope wins over doubt
(c)near_lane7

Chaos
Pieter Brueghel
Harvest wedding war
Humanistic depiction medivial life
Bountiful scenes discovered
Amid extremes
Now

Passion eludes me
When I get lost in a task
Can't let go of the draw
To change and to build
Awake my passion
For love and desire
Give me your yearnings
Let's once more
Light this bonfire
When we ****** into sensations
Together we are whole
And soak in uncontrolled dreams
Nightmares are now on hold
(c)near_lane7

It had to be
Seperation at last
Not death but choice
Many differences in the past
It was a nightmare
Love gave in
To differences unconquerable
Witnessed by the next of kin
(c)near_lane7

Panic in silence
A future at stake
To be easy going
Put into suspense

How will judgement come
Those attempts at gaining their trust
Hope for survival
Strength
,Be Social and kind

Will a truth be unearthed
To let it be
(c)near_lane7

Energy unleashed
Sparks create spectacles
Watching in awe
Fractions of time
Lit up hydro poles
Forest fires
Tinder dry grain fields
Black
Sparks ignite brain waves
Instinctively acted upon
For survival
Continuation
All critters fit same mould
(c)near_lane7

Invisible dangers
Circling the globe
Indifference then panic
Lucky they
Who have an anode
Us humans are challenged
We obey and we fear
It's coming nearer
Will it leave
No one knows
Caring and saving
Winning and losing
Healthcare and science
Maxxed to exhaustion
Grateful and hopeful
Populations at large
Indebted to the heroes
Savors and saviors
Unsung
Silently cherished
#(c)near_lane7

Intense feelings
Comfort and joy
Found the one way
Not waver
Persist
An individual's ploy
(c)near_lane7

Mystical voices
Hidden behind towers
Whispering sound waves
Missing sweet scent of flowers
Left unchallenged
Invading populations minds
Approvals become main stream
A dangerous grind
Minorities shall rise
Convince forgive and invite
Grow exponentially
The countries renew
And strong they shall heal
Freedoms communities angst individuals pain
To support and believe
Respect truth and caring
Never in vain
(c)near_lane7

Drain me of pleasure
To be numb frightful and bound
Sink your teeth into my flesh
Rob me of willpower
So I can crawl into myself
A heap of my being
Let me rest steam for the hour
I will escape my jail
And head for the shower
(c)near_lane7

Hovering just above ground
Unreachable
Imagine a sound
Pasts come alive
Futures are vain
They are hope in the darkness
Illusions causing pain
(c)near_lane7

Don't want to go back
To before I met you
Tell me there is no need
To dig up old wounds
Long gone history
A place I have been
Where I felt lost and weak
Trapped in my own skin
You helped me shed
My layers of doubt
Which strangled my senses
I realize now
Thank you for being
A beautiful mind
A treasure of hope
In this enduring life

Deep in the valley
of the deepest dream
the innocence of feelings
Have overcome
A possibility of shame
Soaking in the humid
the fluid of please
Recalling this adventure
Awaken
Holding a sweaty covers crease
(c)near_lane7

Try understand
Madness in crime
In sinister goals
Conspiracies' slime
Politics gone awry
Madmen are reigning
Beware
Be strong
(c)near_lane7

No one speaks
The wars are no more
Holding hands in silence
From shore to shore
Acceptance creates freedom
How do we get there
Don't follow
Answer to yourself
Empty the square
(c)near_lane7

Felt as if I was in the barrens
No Horizons with a setting sun
No trees giving shade
No mindless fun
Tried to reach out
No responses everywhere
Where was I all this time
Didn't catch realities' diverse
Now I woke
The barrens have left my soul
I feel free
There are no doubts
Welcoming challenges are on their way

I walked to the hollow
The empty in my soul
Trees surrounded me
Moving and tall
In the middle a dead one
Bare of skin
Now a pole
I looked up alongside
There to find hope in the blue sky
I am where I have been

Not to be changed
Ideas layed out in print
Plan smithened long ago
Facing mighty headwind
Presentation without fanfare
Reaction the big Q
Will she take it or dismiss
Her decision
He did dare
(c)near_lane7

To a new age
Replace door
Between incompetence
And applied principles
(c)near_lane7
