Alone or?AloneApathyEmotions

Apathy?

but as for me I sit far back,
knowing that so much I lack,
alone on windy night I walk,
my heart in bitter whispers talks,
‘the world is against you,
you cannot win,
don’t bother trying,
they won’t let you in’

Falling Alone

falling alone
the world a spin
colours dance
the ground so close
the floor a stairway
hard and cold
rising up
with no embrace
or kiss to face

it cares not that I fall
unremarkable human
unbalanced and alone

we all go down

some brothers in arms
some help on its way
caring voices echoing

memories push towards [...]

Vertical Horizontal

on this ledge I sit
feet dangling
for no support exist
I clambered up here
as a kid of 6
holding a cake
and making a wish
soon now at 42
the wish will come down and all
will be true
I believe
I am right
I will be paid
for all the nights
the snow [...]

Sold Out?

A foot on the wharf,
a foot in the boat,

going from priceless and invaluable,
from heart warmth and love,
to chilled cheddar cheese,
served on a salver,
now we can sit and talk about value,
ahh, we talk about the love,
but, I can see his shadow,
beyond the doors,
his [...]

Courageousness

Decisions

 

shadows boxing,

slices of my soul,

shadows deep,

light hiding bright,

across the path,

my chosen way,

I must decide,

I must dance,

I must say.

 

 

 

I must decide.

I must Dance.

I must Say.

Apathy

Spaced-Out

The Enjoyment of absent Apathy

was I a passenger?

all different and unconnected?
or all conniving erratically to one place
a plunging through the clouds
falling down and down
until
you swallow the empty alone
the Marvel © (™) quantum zone
of zany-art blended nonsense
where sneaky senses are blocking and
the [...]

Conclusion

The Russian Bear devours,
The Chinese Bear sits silently,
The Ukrainian takes aim, prays, fires and flees,

resolve to help,
reach but, no answer,
retaliate without bullets, a dreading insouciant response,

solve by beginning again,
search in another land,
satiate hate, with words of protest, heart calmed whilst rockets fall,

plans [...]
