MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Anesthesia’

full anesthesia
electrifying shocks
reseting the brain

opening eyes
morning light
softly reaching

two weeks
time passing
hospital food

new neurons
old memories
resurfacing slowly

partial amnesia
traumatic events
choosing to forget

stepping outside
into the world
reborn rewired

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Going Nuts’

going nuts for pecans
unimpressed by cheesy cashews
walnuts in the shape of a brain
good fortune of hazelnuts
pinenuts loved by black cockatoos
brazil nuts from the amazon
creamy buttery macadamias
a hard nut to crack!

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Hopeful Still’

oftentimes they teach us to be great
oftentimes we seek out closure
oftentimes it comes with disclosure
oftentimes we reach out too late

never mind the steps needed
never mind the mental chatters
never mind our attitude matters
never mind we all get superseded

usually love is the path
usually the smell of success
usually that leads to stress
usually we don’t do the math

seldom there is an easy way
seldom we know ourselves well
seldom our story will tell
seldom ‘to err is human’ saves the day

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Empty Vessel’

empty vessel
containing no thing
no thought no memories
vast new landscape

blank canvas
smell of freshness
newly stretched
onto the frame

the lived dream
of meditators
the perception of
newborns
