Insomnia
I cannot
Fall asleep,
Who can teach me
To stop time?
Please give me
A sign
The minutes are ticking
So quickly
But I still cannot
Fall asleep,
I cannot sail away
On a frigate of my fantasies,
I cannot stay
By the shores of my illusions,
I can not extinguish
Lanterns
My thoughts are like
Pedestrians
Walking in darkness
Without rules
Can you help me?
My solo friend
Will you sing me?
A song
To attract
Morpheus ?
Do not be afraid,
Be an angel to me
I will not dare
To offend you,
I'm quiet when
I cannot fall asleep
Exactly at midnight
a drummer begins
Wound up.
He jumps
Down and up
Hitting my sleepless brain
I cannot fall asleep.
Here you are my sweet Ankou
In white clothes
I’ve stolen
Your years
And
Left you only my tears
And youth
I still cannot fall asleep...
Fall asleep,
Who can teach me
To stop time?
Please give me
A sign
The minutes are ticking
So quickly
But I still cannot
Fall asleep,
I cannot sail away
On a frigate of my fantasies,
I cannot stay
By the shores of my illusions,
I can not extinguish
Lanterns
My thoughts are like
Pedestrians
Walking in darkness
Without rules
Can you help me?
My solo friend
Will you sing me?
A song
To attract
Morpheus ?
Do not be afraid,
Be an angel to me
I will not dare
To offend you,
I'm quiet when
I cannot fall asleep
Exactly at midnight
a drummer begins
Wound up.
He jumps
Down and up
Hitting my sleepless brain
I cannot fall asleep.
Here you are my sweet Ankou
In white clothes
I’ve stolen
Your years
And
Left you only my tears
And youth
I still cannot fall asleep...

About this poem:
Ive written it some time ago. But the problem is still with me......
MORNING
I wake
And rise to face another day
The mornings cold
And the sky is grey
Sipping my coffee
And looking at bills
Check my emails
And scammers again
Romance rejections
And I write some
Poems again
Songs of longing
I can retreat into
The vistas of my mind
Where time stands still
And anything could be real
Blurring my perception
Between here and there
As we play the game
That we all have to partake
Of Life
Of love
Of loneliness
Of oneness
So begins another day...
And rise to face another day
The mornings cold
And the sky is grey
Sipping my coffee
And looking at bills
Check my emails
And scammers again
Romance rejections
And I write some
Poems again
Songs of longing
I can retreat into
The vistas of my mind
Where time stands still
And anything could be real
Blurring my perception
Between here and there
As we play the game
That we all have to partake
Of Life
Of love
Of loneliness
Of oneness
So begins another day...

About this poem:
I was listening to some old Harry Chapin tracks on you tube and i was moved to write this... it a mash up of feelings i felt from hearing such songs as 'W.O.L.D', 'Circles', 'Taxi' and 'A better place to be'...Listening to Chapin always stirs my emotions up, as i think of the problems of life in these times.Un pensamiento triste
When the time went by
I keep asking myself why
I gave my life to you
I should have known
I should have understood
I gave you my heart
but you betrayed me with Bart
my ingenuity followed your fragility
now I know it was not love but just an illusion
you in my life were just confusion
when police asked me why you shot down that woman
when love becomes hate
is a sad thought
to the hell it me brought
I keep asking myself why
I gave my life to you
I should have known
I should have understood
I gave you my heart
but you betrayed me with Bart
my ingenuity followed your fragility
now I know it was not love but just an illusion
you in my life were just confusion
when police asked me why you shot down that woman
when love becomes hate
is a sad thought
to the hell it me brought

About this poem:
just few simple words
THE BATTLE
I think then I wonder,
I wonder then I know,
I understand then I see,
I accept then I grow,
I love then I cry,
I laugh then I sorrow,
Only live for today,
Could be no tomorrow,
I sing then I dance,
I gaze into the sun,
I yearn deeply for wisdom,
Is The Battle ever won?
Says my soul to my heart,
"This thing must end",
Says my will to my longing,
"No. It must surely begin",
Fiercely I fight The Battle,
I stand here all alone,
No one cries for me,
Nowhere to call home.
I wonder then I know,
I understand then I see,
I accept then I grow,
I love then I cry,
I laugh then I sorrow,
Only live for today,
Could be no tomorrow,
I sing then I dance,
I gaze into the sun,
I yearn deeply for wisdom,
Is The Battle ever won?
Says my soul to my heart,
"This thing must end",
Says my will to my longing,
"No. It must surely begin",
Fiercely I fight The Battle,
I stand here all alone,
No one cries for me,
Nowhere to call home.

About this poem:
From my youth I've tried to understand us Earthlings and our thought processes. But most times I feel I'm about the only one who gives a damn.Just can't find my Tribe.
The Poetry Of This Time
A prisoner in my home but out my window I have a view
And the boundaries of the mountains surround me
I'm ok for awhile and then I am blue
I try to express the way I feel and yet the poetry of this time
I conceal for I can't break the boundaries
Not with rhythm or rhyme
I see the birds as they fly and the freedom
Of the power lines going on and on
The poetry of this time says bye as the last word is gone
And the boundaries of the mountains surround me
I'm ok for awhile and then I am blue
I try to express the way I feel and yet the poetry of this time
I conceal for I can't break the boundaries
Not with rhythm or rhyme
I see the birds as they fly and the freedom
Of the power lines going on and on
The poetry of this time says bye as the last word is gone

Post CommentI Think I'll Be There Tonight
I must be on a one way street there's no people to meet
I look behind me no one in sight
Guess I'm headed to lonelyville
I think I'll be there tonight
The speed zone is slow and alone
Not a stop sign do I see no off road to the left or right
Guess I'm headed to lonelyville
I think I'll be there tonight
Finally a sign curve up ahead
I can't remember the last thing she said
I lean on a post under a dim street light
Still headed to lonelyville I think I'll be there tonight
I look behind me no one in sight
Guess I'm headed to lonelyville
I think I'll be there tonight
The speed zone is slow and alone
Not a stop sign do I see no off road to the left or right
Guess I'm headed to lonelyville
I think I'll be there tonight
Finally a sign curve up ahead
I can't remember the last thing she said
I lean on a post under a dim street light
Still headed to lonelyville I think I'll be there tonight

Post CommentThe Second Hand
When I was young I didn't know I was thirty
Time wouldn't talk to me and I couldn't tell
But time told me when I was sixty
Time became a friend late in my life
And this time I hope that time
Tells me to do the things that are right
Bitter sweet memories I'll hold onto for as long as I can
When I was young I didn't know I was thirty
Time became a friend late in my life and here I am
What I finally noticed I'll try to say but you are far away
And words are now useless as I find
Time only talks with the second hand
Time wouldn't talk to me and I couldn't tell
But time told me when I was sixty
Time became a friend late in my life
And this time I hope that time
Tells me to do the things that are right
Bitter sweet memories I'll hold onto for as long as I can
When I was young I didn't know I was thirty
Time became a friend late in my life and here I am
What I finally noticed I'll try to say but you are far away
And words are now useless as I find
Time only talks with the second hand

Post CommentTwo Hundred Twenty Nine
Two hundred twenty nine
And now today another I will write
But if I'd had someone to talk too
There wouldn't be one poem in your sight
Two hundred twenty nine leaves a long lonely trail
And it's sad looking back
So write one more might as well
Two hundred twenty nine
What has been on my mind
What was I trying to say
Now it's two thirty I'll still be awake come the break of day
So now you have found me after my thoughts have become so quiet
But If I had someone to talk too
There wouldn't be one poem in your sight
And now today another I will write
But if I'd had someone to talk too
There wouldn't be one poem in your sight
Two hundred twenty nine leaves a long lonely trail
And it's sad looking back
So write one more might as well
Two hundred twenty nine
What has been on my mind
What was I trying to say
Now it's two thirty I'll still be awake come the break of day
So now you have found me after my thoughts have become so quiet
But If I had someone to talk too
There wouldn't be one poem in your sight

Plight
The heat of the sun.
The crackings of the whip.
The screams of pain.
The blood of peeled flesh.
The plight of their time.
The crackings of the whip.
The screams of pain.
The blood of peeled flesh.
The plight of their time.
