Be All
j a connor Oct 2020
Don't try to do everything
It will tire you
And weaken you
The anxiety of failure will frustrate and upset
Do as is required when it comes along
Quiet of mind will make you strong

For The Good Times

How can we fully appreciate our memories
By defining them as good or bad
When the last post plays
Even the sad times
Will remind us of being alive

j a connor Sep 2023
welcome to a world of eternal shame
past events cry for someone to blame
to live as now
must we accept
history demands we not forget

but perhaps
we should
despite the masses
drag ourselves out
from the ashes

what went before has found its place
we cannot revisit and alter it's face

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

the surface of a different world

Traces Of Hope

Through times gone by
The injustices of humanity meld
Presenting our current state

A Spectrum Of Views
j a connor Oct 2020
Monochromatic scenes in this city of has beens
Hearts no longer pure from too long in the sewer
Youth no longer able from too long in the cradle
Destiny cut lean from living in a dream

Technicolor skies in this land where hope lies
Souls once unsure bring light to who endure
Age once a bane brings hope to who remain
Skills seldom seen bring reality to the dream

Creatures with comforts

Pathos Perhaps

Can time be wasted if it is not defined
Can love prevail it we are not inclined
Does ego exist only in your head
Will life go on even if your dead

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

Goodbye Voyager
j a connor Jul 2021
Within a music of connections
Resonating freely in time
Notes appear
Moments of memory that were thought lost
Gone
Forever
Moving through gaps in a cosmic ocean
Reappearing in the dreams of someone new

This is the symphony of being
Connected with the new/old
A dosage of life never repeated in the same time

This is the Uni-Verse

The palate of sand
Rises to an extreme dryness
Reinforced by subtle elements
Perhaps grainy
Unexposed Pistachio
Ah

Hits like a punch
Only to grind
My ivory
To paste
The illusion
I chase

Unfolding Journey - 3
j a connor Nov 2020
This path is overgrown but I walk it with repetitive ease
Gone are the days lost in time revealing somewhere new
When the challenge to overcome the weeds and thorns excited me
Tomorrow forever
It has been a while now since I was here
A place that was the starting point for hope
I had belief in the stars
Destiny was my mistress and she could lead me anywhere
Temptation was the thrill of the unknown
I could not fail
Until
She left
Following the new found youth to betray simplicity for fate
As I dwell on the history of a band of fools
Mirrored in nations
Thinking that there was peace in the goal of achievement

Dawn is making her way

Bring forth the animals
With such importance of identity
That they defile beauty
What is inside cannot be contrived
By an outer layer of paint and ego
For once upon a future world
Who we are
Will be all in the mind
And everyone
Too afraid to tell
The true story of our disgusting passage
To preconceived living
Erases themselves
From history

Is it to be expected

Or have you just projected
The pattern that history provides as food
