Vacate
j a connor Apr 2021
Train at the station
I'm not getting that one
Things seem to be moving too quickly
This great getaway should be a relaxing break
But it's standing room only for the next three hours
I step outside
It's quiet
Calm
All the travellers are away
I think I'll walk a bit and regain my peace

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

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

Verse from "Stairs"
j a connor Jul 2021
Silence is a friend that will never betray
But
Do you want to live your life with nothing to say
Be who you are
Forget about the gimmicks
We were born original
Don't let us die mimics

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

Wind waves the dew goodbye
The land refreshed
Time is unknown in a natural sense
As is a beginning
Or
End
All that happens is all that should be
No complications
The flow of freedom without
Consciousness is a curse
To the thinking

Swear I hear the earth's heartbeat
Taking some time
Before they start to turn up the heat
Looking out this window
Don't know what the day will bring
My noiseless freedom
Shattered by a phone ring

Just A Thought

Was I awake when I dreamt I was dreaming
What better time to think of life and it's meaning
Is it all that it seems
Or some mad scientists scheme
Is it real what you feel when you dream?

I am not here

Can be present
Through the invisible highways

To where they finally rest
I don't know

If you find them
Then I told you so

Woke up at 5
Realised I had missed 4 years
The next 10 were a blur
Turned into a teenager with no fears
After 30
Thought I knew the plan
Passing 50
Still felt like a boy living as a man
60
It's just a number
Until the mirror laughs at me
I think I'll sleep at 70
See what the next life will be

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

Reinforced by subtle elements
