Tiring, this feeling
of being spaced out
It’s as if I am here
and yet there is doubt
Perhaps I am somewhere
else altogether
But I’m not sure that’s true
or even if whether
it’s right that I should be
elsewhere but right here
All that I know is
it’s not all that clear
Spaced?
Pandemonium
Jealousy or Loyalty
Planet Eaters
They came, the planet eaters, they trundled on and on they came upon us quietly so at first we did not notice anything was wrong.
The were tall and they were frightening with a wiry and metal shape, they crept up on us silently and left us wide eyed with mouth agape.
Where once was green meadow is now just dust and sand.
POETRY CHALLENGE: Oxymoron
Answers that question,
our spontaneous preconceived notions,
about this deathly life
and its fast paced slow motion,
deserve a detailed mention,
or maybe a fleeting discussion,
not coz they create, a clarity of confusion,
but because they confuse..with complete clarification!

THE WARRIOR WITHIN
I shall not run I shall not hide
I’ll face the void with my eyes open wide.
I shall call up my warrior from within
and hone my sword the battle to begin
If I must make sense of what is my worth.
I shall do it now I shall justify my time on earth.
Each time the void comes for me
I make the mistake of either drowning or trying to flee.
Why do I do this time after time both paths are futile
I end up broken, spent and feeling vile.
Falling from the Moon
Falling from the moon,
The stars said Ah! the earth cried see you soon.
It did not seem so far when I had started out
But now as it goes on I begin to have some doubt.
The twinkling stars whizzed by
As I waved the moon goodbye.
I felt that I could fly
Felt I could zoom up and light the sky.
I began to shudder and shake,
What if I hit the earth too soon, would I would break.
WHAT WAS THE POINT
Here I stand in the wreckage of my life,windswept and frightened.Where have the years gone what have I done where are the goals I had when my journey was begun.
I had dreams, I had hopes and targets to meet.Where did I loose it all,what happened to me, what happened to my schemes, my hopes and my dreams.
