To Boldly Go
j a connor Nov 2023
Trespassing in the wake of hope
I rise to the challenge of looking for optimism in all aspects of drama
To feel charged is preferable to being drained
What's the worst that could happen apart from the already inevitable

Human
j a connor Nov 2023
I am not patient
Except when I am
I am not tolerant
But accept that I can be
I Love
But
Is it for personal gain
I cry
But
Is it to free my own pain
Do I go against all that I should be
Or
Do I realise
Through all my searching
That I find
I am
Who

I am

The Unimagined Banana
j a connor Nov 2023
Struck by reality
The anonymous banana bends in the sun
Will the lemon return from the party ?
What about the others
Camouflage gone

What fate awaits in peeling
Exposing the pure flesh
Devoured as whole
Split from the cream

Does it seem
Cold

Awaiting armageddon
Or more

How Deep
j a connor Nov 2023
My thoughts are a lost ocean
Seeking passage through winding canyons
Leading back to the source
The source of creation as perceived by the regimented structure of modern life ?
Modern life that views man's achievements as a eureka moment
A life that requires an explanation for all occurrences
I must climb deeper to the peak of this inverted mountain
To a time of wonder
No boundaries
Unprogrammed
It is almost within reach
In this depth lies the truth

Earth - Goes on

(What is not broken cannot be fixed)

Man - Does not

The world will outlast generations.

in the depths lies the truth
hidden from those who seek
to go forth with false intentions


waiting for the naive uncomplicated spirit
that exists in all who ignore the masses
and proceed with an open mind

Keyboard Anxiety
j a connor Oct 2023
To sit down and write
                                       using pen and paper
a feeling of creation
                    
                the words

                                                                                          ?
the handwriting illegible unless studied                ? art ?
                                                                                          ?
thoughts of this particular time
passing
          may be forgotten soon

                                                     replaced with the boring
must do this
                      must do that        routine

Strange Shores

by the morning the waters had receded to reveal new horizons
the surface of a different world
but this was no sea of tranquility
more a reflection of a barren future

Where Was I

too many distractions like colours in a peacocks tail

Twilighters
j a connor Oct 2023
The streets are uneasy at this time
When the twilight separates the day
Party goers , lonely wanderers, the disturbed
And yet
As the darkness fades
All takes on a new perspective

The real disappears and the routine begins once more
Uniformed of mind take their places in the daily experience  
Isolated beings for the sake of repetition and familiarity
Weak every day through the months and years
Until
All stops

Those in the shadows prefer the unknown and unexpected
The challenge of survival without a  fragile safety net
For it all ends for all
How we reach that point depends on our perception of a life lived

Tired

We were born original don't let us die mimics

pushing us forward to experience the complexity
and celebrate within

Close your eyes let the world disappear
Forget where you are forget where is here
Picture the happiness of freedom within
Forget where you are forget where you've been
This moment is now
This moment is real
You're surroundings don't matter it's how you feel
