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

Peace

Waiting for something to happen
Bird calls
What else is there ?

Trust Me I'm The TV
j a connor Nov 2020
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

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

Liberti
j a connor Nov 2020
In pleasure
I cry
In tears I am silent
My salvation
In demons
When will they free me

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

Summertime city
So many shades
Sun worshippers don't want to pale into insignificance

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

We Are Not In Control
j a connor Dec 2020
Witness the world
Unconcerned
With our ways
Developing as it should
Ourselves
Here until whenever
Civilisations come
Then go
And
Repeat
But
What will thrive
With the passage of time

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

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

What Comes Next ?
j a connor Oct 2020
The path of youth is a shallow grave
Develops character only to misbehave
Focus on watching, wasting and sighing
Prepare for the future, the old life is dying

We can't all be roses
Weeds need love too

The Illusion
j a connor Dec 2020
We follow one
That may be two
The face of me
Running from you
Passing minutes
Chasing hours
Days are numbered
Lost powers
Do they know
If no one told
The right of time
Cannot be sold

Just A Thought
j a connor Oct 2020
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?

Nature

All her eggs are in the one basket
The single entity must conserve
Time is gone and ties are cut
Lead us to the future that we deserve

Unfolding Journey - 2
j a connor Oct 2020
We will not retain the present form forever
It will end
We age yet fight against the inevitable
Accept and receive
Or
Reject and deny
It is our choice
There is no time but now
Why waste it on the path of fools
Why try to find a purpose or cause when the outcome will reveal Emptiness
Or worse

Return to the empty mind
Embrace all
Let your heart be your guide

Forget about the gimmicks
We were born original
Don't let us die mimics

Lapse
j a connor Nov 2020
I succumb to prostration
My mind castrated of the love of life
This no longer resembles civilisation
But a scene of farmyard politics
Chickens and pigs fight over the sheep
No hindsight for respite
Time may reveal
In course
Hope
But me
As my birth certificate nears expiry
I must leave

Genesis
j a connor Nov 2020
I stand alone
A shadow
In empty streets
No movement
To betray
My reality
I observe
How my world

Seems to be

A World Internal
j a connor Jul 1
Beneath the colours of the butterfly wing
A brighter world awaits the coming of the king
Wish it all past
Make light clean shade
This realm is alive
A stranger hidden glade
For this world exists but not as it seems
To reach it alone rely on your dreams
The others who are there will follow you true
As sleep passes by and life is anew

Hungover

Stop
See
Suppose
How many pass the same way
But the scene remains the same
I WILL BE
Perhaps not
Wait and see
Is this me
