MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Uninspired’

uplifting tune for the eardrums
finding time to contemplate
being one with the keyboard
gazing at the invisible paper

words anticipated at the fingertips
the calming notes gently moving
the muse still at her latest gig
patiently awaiting her arrival

raindrops falling on the window
what could feed new inspiration
the mind trickster whispers
it’s a piece of cake

distracted by mental imagery of food
the temptation is almost palatable
self discipline comes into play
eat or not to eat now the question

deep breath and still another
follow the rhythmic beats
getting back to the center focus
the key is to move the fingers

what just popped on the screen
acidentaly hit the wrong key
once all cleared now let’s go again
back in pinpointed concentration

last rays of the winter sun dissipated
today is soon to be yesterday
wasted now slowly evaporating
so many words yet no message
gutted



MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘New Angle’

luminous stars filled the night sky
years away and yet visible to the naked eye
as we sat silently around the fireplace
gazed at the distant galaxies
flames burned away any worries

specs of light thus far in the distance
reminded us of life beyond the daily strife
cries of one in the whole of cosmos
suddenly rather trivial

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘The Irony’

the irony of life
to live fully
one has to die first

the self lives a lie
in an illusory world
fed drama and fear

the reality of truth
the very opposite
pure love and light

live in the now
peel off layers
emerge anew

clarity awaits patiently
underneath darkness
merely to be awakened


MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Ode To Sourdough’

oh, dear sourbread
what i would do for you
for you rise from dust
without added yeast

in my shallow sleep
i pray for you deeply
mornings i feed you
you rise to sky heights

for your rye starter
true love i feel
the flavour the texture
the chewy crumb

the combo of the dark grain
paired with precious liquid
time, the perfect substance
yielding the desired effect

i wait for you patiently
while you work the magic
you deliver every time
the manna of gods

blessed we are
as so little is needed
to satisfy our hunger
yet so very nourishing
