MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Quiz’

what is there
blank stare
what is there
looking out the eyes
what is there
too many lies

who is there
to save us from ourselves
who is there
to dodge the crowd
who is there
to figure it all out

where is there
peace in the world
where is there
beauty without art
where is there
joy in the heart

when is there
moment of calm
when is there
the best time
when is there
no more crime

why is there
so many questions
why is there
in and out breath
why is there
birth and death

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Oh! my’

meditating on the I
where is it, oh! my
comfy cushion
cross legged pose
contemplating
on words those

inside the body
hiding obscurely
amongst others
anchored surely

fleeting moment
this big mystery
as life becomes
history

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘ Only Change’

trading time for money
energy limited resource
house built on debt
family of ghosts

hamster in a wheel
the endless run
wiped out all the
left over wits

river within its banks
carving the rocks
running its course
without fail

life like a river
seeping away
from us all
sooner than later

shaping us by the flow
nothing stays the same
only change remains
for eternity

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Hesitant Kiss’

the sun opened each wild flower
caressing her soft petals gently
the breeze stroked all the leaves
bending the long growing grass

it was a day with not a cloud in sight
walking across the bridge hand in hand
into the fields of golden light
their touch invisible to the naked eye

their journey together was near the end
spontaneously lifting her black veil
showing an empty space
then a hesitant kiss

the sudden darkness
remembering her duties
he followed into the field
never to return
alive
