Time Today
j a connor Nov 2020
Look through me
Far into the future
What do you think you see
What does the vision nurture
Is it to be expected
That all will be as should
Or have you just projected
The pattern that history provides as food
39 · Oct 2020
Chill
j a connor Oct 2020
Do not think
Clear your mind
Feel what happens
See what you find
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
The speed of life
Not fast but slow
Take your time
Or someone will
The world will go on
Moving or still

I arrive
Leave a footprint
And
Judge myself

Yawn
j a connor Nov 2020
I read as the light goes
Or is it my eyes
The impending darkness
Changes my mood
Shadows form around me
The night likes to herald its own truth

Oh the drama

Time for bed

The Cafe

Pain on the window
Reflecting my luck
Pour some more coffee into my cup
Look around the tables
No one on their own
Usual conversation
Gossip with phones
I'm thinking..................

Strange World
j a connor Oct 2020
Oh what a strange world
Where we don't know

What we do

To create a life that is loving and true
The aching hearts versus correctness of speech
Lead me to think that it's not within reach
But then
Suddenly
Not forgetting her talents
Nature is there to reset the balance
38 · Nov 2020
Think Or Not
j a connor Nov 2020
Do you just agree with opinion
To keep the peace
That suits the nation

Or defend your belief

Despite the threat
Of isolation

When you go
Will you be mourned
Or left in the mass grave
Of the misinformed

Gold Card
j a connor Nov 2020
Apparently I've been pre approved
My profile assessed while being viewed
I seem to be a decent gent
But they might have missed the time I spent
At Her Majesty's Pleasure for a small discretion
Obtaining money by fraudulent deception

Line In The Sand
j a connor Oct 2020
This is reality
The summer
Only an escape
Yeah
Summer living
Some just existing
Where do we hope to be
Always looking to escape
Wanting for something better
Will we grasp it when it comes
Or let it slip through
Ahh
Here comes the wind again
Stirring the sand
Clearing the footprints

How many faces will you wear today?
Depends who you see, depends what you say
Intentions may be good, judgement may be wrong
It's difficult pleasing everyone, trying to get along

Turn The Tables

Dawn
Quiet(ish)
Streets are

Just an old fox heading home after a good night
Howling laugh
Those cats didn't now what hit them

The Problem
j a connor Nov 2020
I guess it’s me
I don’t fit in
Expecting a lot
Getting nothing
Where do I go wrong
All of the time
It starts so well
I’m doing fine
Order my first few from the bar
I’m in the spotlight I’m the star
But all of a sudden
Or so it seems
People avoid me
I’m not their scene
I do my best to play the game
Where do I go wrong
I ask again?

The Weed That Turned
j a connor Dec 2020
Green shoots pry
Into his house
The gardener waits
Listening in silence
And fails
They talk
They plan
Up the stairs
He is there
Our roots are not yet strong enough
But
He is weak
Wait
That noise
Rain
We grow

What Is
j a connor Oct 2020
Wide open spaces
Far away places
Where the sun rests on it's cloudy bed at the top of the high peak
The thoughts of dreams
Of maybe tomorrow schemes
As if we have forever to achieve all that we seek
This journey we take
That we constantly break
Lazy work rising to the fore
Civilised heart
Failing to start
Living behind a closed door

Perhaps

This is our forever
Our whatever

No longer waiting for the end to come

The Unimagined Banana
j a connor Oct 2020
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
j a connor Oct 2020
This is our way

Use it up
Move on to the next
Throw it away
Traits
In bred
Human
Ego
We can never have too much
On our plates
Even when
The pantry is almost bare

WHAT WILL WE DO ??

Rewrite the damage
We shall start anew

Clouds
j a connor Oct 2020
Be patient
Take you're time
Like the clouds passing
Holding together
Pushed by the wind
Unperturbed by their destination
Knowing their place no frustration
The distance travelled is unimportant
The journey unfolds as it should

Morning
At the window
Looks like rain
TV
Background
Stopped listening to what they're saying
Scripted
Voices
Try to plan my destiny
Freewill
Choices
My future is up to me

Until Tomorrow
j a connor Oct 2020
I'm dreaming of the spires of Desdemona                                  
Stirred by the the sands of Barcelona
A rooftop view
Through
The distance
Of the sun kissed mist
A Dawn like no other
Or no one
Time
Perpetual in light
Passing with night
A memory of the blues                                              
Held in the heart of a failed lover                          
Ecstasy to anxiety
Heart to sole
To walk away
Or stay
Blending with the warm dry dust

Screaming from the shore
Courage of belief
Relief
Unstoppable

Deja Vu
j a connor Oct 2020
Imagine
Paradise before thought
Fresh air, clean water, wide open spaces
A place of welcome and harmony
The place of your dreams
The place you are starting to see
WAIT
LOOK
The obsession to dominate and destroy
STOP
NO
You are about to arrive
You do not want to be programmed and controlled
But it is too late
You are born

Human
j a connor Oct 2020
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

A man

Unfolding Journey - 1
j a connor Oct 2020
Sometimes people and society don’t allow us to be who we are
We have to comply with unwritten traditions
Mass insecurity tries to hold back individual growth
You cannot do this
You cannot do that
It may affect the lives of others
(But)
Life affects the path of all on a daily basis
No assistance is required
Follow our individual drive and travel together
Work with what we have
Instead of against
Lose our fear of reliance
Experience the event
