MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘The Drive’

blurry old glasses
speed signs hard to tell
countryside quickly passes
road that leads to hell

coffee helps only wee bit
to brighten the light of day
one has to believe it
or know how to pray

to drive the roads less travelled
might be a smarter way
old threads to be unraveled
new horizons come to play

black computer keyboard
the vehicle of choice
typing not to be bored
by chatter of the inner voice

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘At leisure’

so you say you don’t care
the answer I hear a lot
what about your sanity
when I lose the plot

you say you don’t care
then ask me what’s the matter
when I throw a tantrum
plates and glass then shatter

when I ask you questions
you said it many times
our persistent beliefs
are like stingy crimes

then open your mind
into the world of caring
let’s live happily ever after
minds and hearts sharing

now wait no longer for the day
that brings us that much pleasure
give a damn or give a f-ck
just pick one at your leisure

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Destined’

your destiny in a blue ink
spelled out on a bathroom sink

stoics without feeling
undergo a distant healing

see through what we all do
living in a human zoo

locked in a mental cage
fast forward our age

in captivity restrained
to the news box chained

wash your hands we do the brain
backed by science to explain

seeds robbed out of plants
no bees so pollinate by ants

your fear is our long term gain
to feed you bugs as a main

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘The Inside Job’

stubborn feelings
persistent emotions
looking inside
finding the cause

what ifs
never happen anyway
unless we get certain
and bring them onto us

each wish is our
sacred command
what starts as a thought
could become real

the best way to tackle it
be conscious of our feelings
when something does feel off
check the thought process

the culprit is in the mind
awareness is the key
look within and breathe
bring in a new fresh wish

state it in the positive
or neutral color scheme
and let it gather momentum
the snowball effect

replace the unwanted
with the desired and wished for
clearing the cupboard of the mind
clarity awaits
