will we know when we no longer exist
j a connor Apr 2022
Perfection as a constant
Human life ?
Only when dead
But I digress
Perhaps
j a connor Oct 2021
Challenges do not damage the human psyche
only our response does
by deciding to let it affect or not
you can control your strength and your weakness

Life is .....all we've got
work at it
go with it
enjoy it

Hurry..
Let's save some time
You mean,, put it in a bank??
How can we get it back?????

To be
Like a tree
Soaring and strong
Until
The seasons change
Then
I must leaf

The world will not survive
If love is left denied
Hate is so insane
Realise this
And
We
Will
Win

Game

This is reality
The summer
Only an escape
Yeah
Summer living
Some just existing
Where do we hope to be
Always looking to escape
Wanting for something better
Will we grasp it when it comes
Or let it slip through
Ahh
Here comes the wind again
Stirring the sand
Clearing the footprints

my day is a good day
my heart dreams big
ignoring the nay sayers
this is my gig
j a connor Dec 2020
Woke up at 5
Realised I had missed 4 years
The next 10 were a blur
Turned into a teenager with no fears
After 30
Thought I knew the plan
Passing 50
Still felt like a boy living as a man
60
It's just a number
Until the mirror laughs at me
I think I'll sleep at 70
See what the next life will be
j a connor Nov 2021
a wrinkled monument to a well abused past
held aloft for posterity
glowing in the dashboard of eternity
pointing to the ethereal glow as the net is cast

at last
j a connor May 2021
Awake

For another day
Unless I sleep

Daydream even
Bringing light to my world

For another day

Dawn breaks quickly
How fragile the day ahead

The simplicity of nature is that its greatness is hidden in view

Solutions are like planets
Sometimes distant
Until we look closer
And discover new worlds

Dreams fizzle out
Relinquished

I appear to have misplaced myself
I knew where I was until recently
But now
I can't find me anywhere
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

my life is just that
mine
no one is qualified to say that I am right or I am wrong
I live to my own rules
like it
loathe it
I don't care
I will not instruct or comment on how you live
don't apply the same to me
so there

In the scale of things
We have more self importance than required

Knife strikes to cut

From the mirror's point of view
Truth or disguise
Drunk on images
The hangover effect
Relief or excuse

gloomy  
early rise
day unseen until 8.00

break fast
cafe on corner
feel flat

open door to leave
damp air
no view

walk in rain
grey clouds hide
high above

the sun light is clear

Artistically fascinating
Deep imaginations
Distantly unattainable

narrow

glowing apparitions  
reflecting in a blank mirror

step forward

at the paths end
I know not

Time runs out
Life walks on
j a connor Dec 2020
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
