in the garden of life
the weeds have taken over
j a connor Mar 18
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
j a connor Mar 2021
The dawn rolls out a new day
No past grudge
Embrace joy

life is for everyone
let's not interfere because it makes us feel right
why waste energy trying to change and rearrange complexities
that we will probably never fully understand

Drunk from the midday sun
Now barely able to light a candle
Let alone save the world

Confusion
Withheld
Deeply
Disturbing
j a connor May 2023
Tossed into another dimension
Via dreams I dare not mention
Unsure of life in this realm
Frightened by thoughts that overwhelm
Escape seems irrelevant and unclear
Where I am is where I belong
I fear

I live for the night
It never fails to excite
The darkness prevails
Those unearthly tales
My future is clear
My destiny is here
Age

Age
Reality is fuelled by perception of view
The same scene can change as life grows you
j a connor Nov 2020
Who we are is all in the mind
Purpose projected by ego
A false importance of identity
Lose yourself
Accept the universe
Imperfection is perfect
We exist
Embrace the truth of our simplistic passage
We are not in control
Relax
Enjoy
Live

Does the thought of the action worry you more

Will you be comfortable knowing what is behind the door

the decisions you choose
maybe win maybe lose

But to do or to don't
That's free to explore

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

Before dawn

Our world is in crisis.

I represent Kalashnikov.
Although we are currently doing very well in the world, we need your help.

Global conditions continue to be challenging but not enough innocent people are dying.
This causes all sort of problems, overpopulation and environmental impact being just two of the issues now facing our planet.

Please donate as much as you can afford to :

Help us to restructure the world into a far more dangerous place.

Thank you.

Memories
Do they belong to us
Or the collective of spirits
Past, present, future?
Is this the reality we perceive to be our own
Or are we on an endless loop
The groundhog day of eternity
j a connor Jun 2023
The path ends, the forest begins
Darker as deeper, sense of the wild
To hesitate, to enter
Adjust to changes
A move from the safe and familiar
A move to the hidden realms
Reaching to the unknown
I proceed

In search of vanity in the 22nd century
The automatons looked back

In the near past the creatures now kept as pets displayed all the traits required
"I want and will have" seemed a popular misconception until the changes happened

Now for pure entertainment
Styled and paraded

They will be a useful distraction in the bleakness of this barren world and a reminder that all intelligence must evolve to survive

Lost to the eternal nothing
Waiting in hope of something
Living for none but....

With the empty mind
Start the day
No plans
Behold
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

behold the departure of summer
plays into autumns hands
the green is turning
winter leaves me cold

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

Friday evening sails into view
Wind blows
Sky turn a rosy shade of blue
Sun goes
Rise to my feet
Stroll across the sand
Listen to the surf
Riding the land
Drunk some wine
Just to clear my mind

You
See
I can't
Stop
Thinking
About
You
j a connor Mar 2021
I remember the time when we were kids
The fun we had
The things we did
And I wonder
Why did it change

You're still here in my heart
Each and every day
I thought I'd left you behind but my dreams made you stay
I see you now
I think of then

But I made me a promise

Never
Again
j a connor Mar 2021
Here today
Where tomorrow
Who knows
Back to the future
The past will go  
I'm moving on
6.00 AM on the morning tide
Maybe I should just forget my pride
Got a new life  
Don't you know
So
Why
Can't
I
Let you go
j a connor Mar 2021
At the end of the pier
She's looking at me
A smile on her face
Shall I stay
Shall I leave
