MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘New Light’

stream of memories
dusk transformed into dreams
with no makeup
the sun rose uncombed

aroma of fresh coffee
broke through the air
enlivening all the senses
helping the limbs move

daily miracle of life
the day brightened up
neither being asked
nor begged

letting go of darkness
the light gently shines
new opportunities
new chances

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Purpose’

purpose, the big question
that gives many indigestion
asking people about it
life goes on without it

swirls of stardust in the sky
on the ground the little i
storms in heavens brewing
what on earth are we doing

deep blue water sustains life
floating plastic debris rife
the horizon full of fires
burning all human desires

in the end what matters most
just before we turn to ghost
to cherish life as precious art
clear conscience loving heart

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘The Knight’

morning alleyway
silent feet shuffle
river of grey suits

lights faintly glow
distant smell of coffee
bakery opens the door

city full of ghosts
screen in hand
heading to a desk

morning routine
run on autopilot
eyes half shut

fresh coffee sip
time to regain
consciousness

awareness still
in deep sleep
shrouded in a veil

vision of a bleak future
not enough to sustain
whims of the offsprings

on a hamster wheel
going nowhere far
waiting aimlessly

for the one day
the shiny knight arrives
to slay the dragon…

to win this game
to break out
of the cage

wake up
from the daily
societal dream

crack the code
realize-be
awareness…
the knight

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Silent Time’

silence wrapped around
encapsulating thoughts
providing space and time
to respond to observe

no need to react now
the right time appears
after an interval
allowing a fresh approach

more space on the mind
quietened internal chatter
peace spreads its wings
relaxing ambience prevails

enchanting and might
silent breath meditation
minutes merge into hours
time vanishes in a vacuum

beatific calm
