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

My time is limited
To undo what I've done
Remorse never questioned
Tunes majorities sang
Quietness overwhelmed me
Hearing the warning bells
Everybody had the possibility
To at least help turn that key
To the truth documented
Defined observed
A glance
(c)near_lane7

Gone down the ladder
Climbing back up the steps
Positions are changing
In societies frames
(c)near_lane7

The day is waiting

(c)flatfielder

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

From A to B
Cold, crisp and sunny
A perfect day
For a hike for us three
A winding path
Obstructions the dog doesn't mind
But us older folks
We had to circumvent
Some tricky climbs
We feel good
Our senses survived

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

Long journeys he longs for
Connect and disband
Histories follies
Yet approaching an end
A decision or movement
Into reality
When emotions give way
To a homeless gullibility
When leaning
Over this blackened soil
Once home to a testament
Of generational coils
Bounced through the ages
By successions of systems
Generated and foiled
(c)near_lane7

Intrigued by it's purpose
Raging with fury
Order and discipline
Dismissed
Humans become tools
Robots inhuman
Castaway soul's
Killing and be killed
For glory and perception
Lies override Truth
Once escaped maddening cycles
Humanity again rises
Compassion
Then individual's shy grins
Communities thriving again
Nourishing their kin

Torn and tattered
Hearts now shattered
Listened
(c)near_lane7

Influence me
So I may be good
(c)near_lane7

Questions his intentions
When he starts his battered truck
Ready to take him places
In awe when he realizes
He left
Is it nowhere or somewhere
Forced to judge he is alone
He keeps driving
Enters a roundabout
Full circle on the inside lane
Deciding on an exit
Not now he is playing his game
Indecision marred his intention
Second right for going south
Stop for gas
Back in your seat
His intention is
To be about
Does his thing no frowns now clear
Ready to go
Enters a new lifegoals' pier
(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

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 come for you
Will give you sensation
Across your back
Across your front
Most intense places
I give you awareness
Your skin a mighty place
You scratch
Enhance eerie feeling
I disappear like a ghost
You are calm
Your body livened
You heal
I am in your soul
(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

Somewhere I don't know yet
Urge myself into seeing
The truth in mankind
Not the questioning feeling
Why is life like that
Competitions and must smells
Odor interpretations
Paintings in words
The abstract is forming
Got fuel for my fire
Play with my naked toes
Desires are churning
Sparkling Amber's up close
Erotica comesto me
My doom has become hope
Aware are my senses
I will stop any speculation

An invasion so deeply
So hard to shake
It could be fear
Past experience
So much hurt so much loss

Understand it you must
And gently flex
Its boundaries

You will free this someone
Let it pull away from the past
Cause you are the one
Trusted the most

So dont sling this treasure
But open up a world

(c)flatfielder

My old bike
It just didn't want to take me
Another kickstart
Was this a maybe
I did feel resistance
Another try
And you go
Now we can ride
Feel the oxygenated air
Until reminded
I am low on fuel
Stop and replenish
At the next feeding station
We burn and we power
Every day every hour
(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

Left and erased
A connection just dropped
By technical action
Didn't overpower that want
Still widened the distance
This one way street
Will there be a sign of living
Coming down against the beat
of souls' connections never ending
Let them be lost
but never gone
(c)near_lane7

Was it the tremor
But I wasn't alone
You came forward
Into the crowd we were thrown
Where did you come from
Never did ask
Your movements synced deeply
The few moments of chance
For a good conversation
All is left is a glimpse of your face
It sits in my head
'Bye ***' to be your last word
You stepped back
I let go
(c)near_lane7

Sooner or later
I ought to write this letter
A decision has been made
Families' history prolonged
Like it or object
There is no room for that point
Flowers shall be placed
Every summer
By an unknown
Every body welcome
to stop by
And wonder
Where the descendants have gone
(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

A young boy in surrender
To his skills' fears and foes
Is overhearing arguments
Affecting him most
Youthful and helpful
Naive it can't be
Troubles are brewing
Not to be told
It
He can't see
Not to grab the extent
Of problems not his own
His family's fairing
No solution to save home
So he wanders and abandons
He did listen through the wall
Never spoke spoken to
The end of it all
(c) near_lane7

A recall to the past
Presently I am good
Comfortable with a toothache
Abolished lives' lows
Shuddered when realized
Have you been opportunistic
Or just had dumb luck
When you avoided
Other's miseries
Did you take more
Than you received
A loner in his thinking
Always was
What is left
No return
Accept it
There will be an end
#(c)near_lane7

In the picture
This old black and white
Had missed the lecture
Of being pointy no fright
Outraged in a moment
Wrong words the offensive
People move sideways
Their eyes evasive
Remaining ..
Their sillhouette
I retract
My heart seems to blush
All i am looking for now
The comfort of my shed

At your life
Analyze mistakes
Shake off your guilt
Reality is the truth
Wishing to start new
with your baggage
Or lift yourself up
With the experienced You
It's never too late
(c)near_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

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

Words are meaningless
Actions are what matter most
So I have been told
Just not my view

Words of comfort
Words of hate
People's reactions
Will tell you of their fate
(c)near_lane7

Drum up the memories
Slide into your past
Enter a long lane
Where blurred memories
Identify dreams
Long ago cast
Push away your Demons
The ones who haunt you
now and then
Cause those you want to forget
Not the good times you had
(c)near_lane7

My Love is soaking in you !

Sore knees resting
On the round table's top
Imagine suggestions
No worries about a crop
An empty glass without a rim
Staring at me
Pushed aside with a grin
Energy levels rise
After playing quite a many
Old rock videos
They are in my guts
Make me want to go
On that bike trip
Wind in my eye
Bug just missed
(c)near_lane7

More running into lampposts
Glass shattered
Lightbulbs explode
Bump on my head
Radiator blown
All in a one night's dream
Just realized and remembered
Where is the core
Where is the truth
It never did happen
Mind games
Drawn from the unconscious
It's good to be still living
Brainwaves in dis array
(c)near_lane7

It brings me together
No one shares
But receives
That's how I feel this moment
Absorption the seal
Only give yet to be selfish
The pleasure is mine
We relax in our glory
The taste of a sip of wine
(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

Resignation for self preservation
Forever to hide
Or to break out en masse
Communities struggling
For identity safety and Touch
When leaders ignore
Rise
Never give up
(c)near_lane7

Wants to be popular
Not to be seen
Likes fancy cars
Can't stand the sheen
Mumble and grumble
Nobody hears
Time to reflect
Bury
Outstanding fears
(c)near_lane7

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

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

Revealing to myself
Who am I
Not hidden away
Under clothes
warmth and comfort
Now an explicit show
See my faults
Enjoy my features
Like my presence
In the ****
(c)near_lane7

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

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

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

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
