Who tells the clock how much time is left ?.....
j a connor May 2023
I appear to have misplaced my future
I knew where it was until recently
But now
I can't find it anywhere
j a connor Nov 2020
I invert the Yin and Yang
To produce a total lack of clarity
In my schizophrenic dream
Of a clearer world
j a connor Apr 2023
best step back
the world is crashing
the sky is crack'd
sea has gone weird
plants inverting
air insincere
people converting

best step back
it's not making sense
teach don't tell
alien unwell
i've lost track
no going back

We talk like we know it all
But we don't do it

MEANWHILE
the rain teases the grass
but the sea is unhappy about the waste

POLLUTION
acidly aided by gravity
frees the ball from the axis

CHANGING
EVERYTHING

PERHAPS

j a connor Sep 2021
The season is coming
Leaves crumble underfoot
Skies change signalling a departure from youth to mid life
Autumn beckons to its cooler sibling
Preparing for the challenge we must all face
The final path towards what lies ahead
j a connor Nov 2020
Travelling to the outside
Of in
A world contained
Of nothing
By no one
To examine
Perhaps the genius of snails
One cannot
Encapsulate
A life
Too real
For some
j a connor Jun 2021
I know nothing of reality for nothing is real

Water from the window within
It's cold
j a connor Jun 2021
Imagine a tropical paradise
Think hard now
Don't that look nice
Sky is blue
Palm trees sway
Ocean clear
Sunshine all day
Come with me
I'll take you there
Forget your troubles
Forget your cares
Sail away on the distant breeze
Clear your mind
Do as you please
Lyrics from Drift Away by j.a.connor
It's good to dream
j a connor Mar 2021
Grey tanned faces in the winter of hope
Lasting forever
Dreamt perhaps remote
This life despairs all who come to pass
Knowledge is regression
Time never lasts

Rest in pieces
For we cannot be destroyed
We are the dust of the universe
Never fully swept away
Our spirits rising into the vastness of space
Searching for the next adventure
Seeking a new vessel of travel
Relativity non existent
A heartbeat in fate

sinking in myself
tuning in

Created by the mind
This perception of reality

Welcome to your life
Unknown to others

Unique


Do with it what you will
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

last lives live like lying

I'm gone
j a connor Mar 2023
what dream is this I awaken from

am I no longer a part of time
where is the reality of before
my clock is running behind

catching up with where the world has gone
it wears you out

sleep is where I find my reality

so leave me to descend into my own
and carry on with nothing
j a connor Jun 2021
He waited at the darkest point of the night
Would the dream return
Rain fell on the ground creating a new wave of hope
Is it to be true
Will it replace the problem that was his life

"Do you know if the dream is due"

"Could be"

"Is it the muse that you have too"

"We'll see ..........

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 way we treat life

Is it any surprise
That
We

Would treat the planet any different
j a connor Dec 2023
And,  ,, ,,,       within the fire
Lies another realm,,  (outwith our reach)
But ........
If we look

not all they seem

today will be like yesterday
a fleeting moment in the cosmos
noticed by none in a 1000 years time
j a connor Dec 2020
In the eyes of the teller the listener gives all
One sided conversation
Let's ask the wall
Polite nodding and smiling
Exacting and sincere
And do you agree with my view

"Sorry",
Try the other ear

It's nice to talk
To hear ones voice
But please remember
To take in what you're saying requires absorption and choice

From the darkness

The shadows grow strong

At the end
