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
