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

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Sweet’

tip of the tongue
sweet taste sensor
soft and naughty
giving pleasure
with a flaw
new and enlarged
body

on the menu
delicatessen
on the mind
sense of guilt

reflecting
always
too late
the moment
of delight
followed by
remorse

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Unanswered’

for the sake of peace
the battle has began
men in combat gear
deploy remote weapons

like any other day
the sun rose today
yet as it sets down
uncertainty fills the air

energy that moves
the economy at large
getting held at bay
instability likely

what if we ask
what is the benefit
of this conflict
for all humanity

as there is always
benefit in each drawback
no matter how hard
it may seem to find

trust the process of life
