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 – ‘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
