Revelation
j a connor Aug 2023
dust from the moon
filters through
the stars sparkle

foreplay from Mars
Saturn rings
there's no reply

lost in isolation
complete me
under the sky

Its all here
they cry
but not yet

it is about
perhaps destiny
or for us

history

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
j a connor Feb 2022
I appear to have misplaced my life
I knew where it was until recently
but now
I can't find it anywhere

You Are You
j a connor Jan 2021
Begone all the nay sayers
I have risen to be me
No more will I be passed over
No truth I will not see
For life is mine
And I must live
As this is the only time
I can give
To those who are sighing
What about tomorrow
Live like you're dying
Self pity
Is
Sorrow

if all ideas  sciences  theories  preconceptions etc

do the really exist

when will we know if what we see is really there

breaking limits
j a connor Apr 2023
there is a certain liberation to be enjoyed
no rule following
going through a point that impresses the senses
freedom of speed
reaching the horizon before dawn
no longer per hour
measuring in the second
ecstasy of movement
with no destination
ending too soon
but living in the moment

Lost Days
j a connor Dec 2023
Tanned faces in the winter of hope
Lasting forever
Distant perhaps
Remote
This life despairs all who come to pass
Knowledge is regression
Time however
Never lasts

Fitting In
j a connor Mar 2022
Beyond the coffee
night
Polluted by too much
but it's alright
My mind calls to the sky

I see

I try

The passage is
uneasy
Plagued by those
trying to change me
Lost in my demise

I see

I try

My task is
futile
To build my hopes
am I in denial
Burning lifestyle
Why do I continue
Because

I see

I try

Twilighters
j a connor Sep 2022
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
j a connor Jul 2023
By now the sun will have risen in the north
Set in the south and all within four hours
Twilight passes for night and day
Clouds no longer cruise the horizon
Seasons last for years
This haven replaced Earth
But I know where I'd rather be

All Hail
j a connor Oct 2020
Lost in a vision of eternal greed                                                                                  
Exploitation of the masses to further their need
Living for a drug that makes blood rust
Creatures that sadly are no more than dust
More More More they cry
Me Me Me they cry
When
It can no longer satisfy
Then
Within
They die

Keyboard Anxiety
j a connor Oct 2021
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

My passage is unclear
Nothing remains
The darkness of a summers morning is a warm blanket
Saving me from myself
As I walk towards my journey
The future has begun

I remember a time when you had to go look for information
now it is inescapable
we are overloaded to a point of no return
short-circuited into believing all is lost
unsure how to fit in
to be accepted
driven by things outwith
unable to speak for fear of being shut down

STOP
CEASE
DESIST

switch off
breathe
relax
look at the world that is yours
deal with only what you can effect
live again

Destiny ??
j a connor Jun 2023
The power of the mind is unknown
Producing truth, fear, hope, etc, etc, +++
So many thoughts
Too confusing for anyone
Too difficult to fully control
But with practice
Silence can be found
Allowing peace in all ventures

The complexity of humanity can be found in the convenience store

The regulars, not looking to change the daily habits

The passing trade, hoping for a one stop

The lonely, finding a point of contact that may be the only one
                    not buying anything in particular but happy to advise
And

The cashier
                    overseeing all with power
                    never participating wholly in the dramas that unfold

But looking forward to the end of the day when the door closes

Universal Dust
j a connor May 2023
Must I look around
Involving myself in expanding intimacies
Something created from so much
But very little
Pushing me from the importance of the infinite
Rotating without break
Encompass all
No matter
No willing
I must float
Flex
Descend
Cease
If I am here
I must belong

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
