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

For an instant
The dust tastes safe
Broken bones heal

Awake to reign
Windows
Blurred

escaping darkness
enveloped in dreams
glimmering
watching
alive in shadow

Winter
I spring
I rise
Forward
No purpose
The path changes
The brightness beckons

through the beige
find the colour of dreams
listen to the world
while man intervenes
forgive

reverse psychopathy
nothing seen
sense of duty

truth is in the heart
not the mind
j a connor Feb 2024
So
Standing in the middle of a deserted
Walkway
I
Hear
No sound
Unusual in a big city
To hear
No sound
The urban crane lies quiet
As does
The crawling Caterpillars
Regeneration is the term
For communal execution
But change is dictated
So change must replace
Amen
j a connor Apr 2023
Sometimes
When I go to sleep
I think

What time do I have

Change is constant
Just look in the mirror
I will have little control over how things pan out

Sometimes
It can be detrimental
To think

Of what was
Of what will be

Now is all I have
  
Someday
The morning will not be there
I close my eyes and wait
j a connor May 27
steam is grey
but
I
follow my dreams
every day
and
perhaps
maybe
maybe
like
a fantasy
I
delay
in
humanity
j a connor Jan 2022
By the campfire the vision in the flame lured Sal within.

Will Cassady remain ?

As the light reaches higher

Sunset to dawn
Chill to warm


Sparks fade for another day.

Run Run Faster Faster More More STOP. Sleep
Run Run, Faster Faster, More More, STOP. Sleep
Hurry, Hurry, Go, Go, Want, Want, STOP. Sleep
Hurry,, Hurry,, Go,,, Go,,, Want,,,, Want,,,, STOP.

like a comets echo
fading into the void

Information overload
Every
Day
Hard to switch off
So much coming my way
I
Don't
Need
24 hour news
Giving me
21st century blues
j a connor Mar 2021
Nothing but the truth we're told to believe
Shameless smiling faces unable to deceive
With their 24 hour views
Giving me 21st century blues

Morning silence
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
j a connor Nov 2021
Dawn
Tidal moon
Lunar landscape  ???

by the morning the waters had receded to reveal new horizons
the surface of a different world
but this was no sea of tranquility
more a reflection of a barren future

creation in mind
projection in form
darker in reality
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

Silence is a friend that will never betray
But
Do you want to live your life with nothing to say ?
j a connor Dec 2020
Be who you are
Forget about the gimmicks
We were born original
Don't let us die mimics

Perfection sounds like a lovely destination
I wonder who will be the first to visit ?

Hiding from the night
Dreaming in the dark
Nothing is real
Reality is nothing
Life challenges time
Time is our creation
At the end
We are the Earth

The day stretches ahead
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
j a connor Nov 2020
To those who exist
I congratulate you
j a connor Feb 2021
The complexities
Of life
Are not ours
To suppose
Just take
A day at a time
And see
How
It
Goes

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

Here in the animal kingdom
Contradiction is not unique
Only the insects know the truth
