setting off

Drowned in the loneliness
Of this island
Sinking in the ocean
Of hunger and wounds

Smelling the twilight
Words tangle

It’s departure time

Tears fly
and are trapped
in the circling of our hearts

All that noise is deaf
The beat on our chests
break the silence
the mess

Eyes do the talking

Hoping not to regret
it's never too late

It’s departure time.

And the roads were always there
for us to be walked.
The guitar was always there

for us to be played
Piles of books
could’ve been read

Instead, we took the shortcuts
we sang out of tune
and we just read

the summaries.

And now

it's getting too late. And now...

It is departure time.

the night

No 

matter

how blue,

or green,

our eyes.

.

No matter

how avid

or intense

their glow.

.

On windy nights

candles blow.

Got Nowhere

I got you wrong
        And so did you

                  Guess

                       we just

        misunderstood…

I looked tired ‘cause I was
                 And you thought

                     I was tired of your adoration
                                         And I thought

I’d been deprived of your affection.

               And you thought I was a fool
     While I was thinking I was a fool
                                      But I knew

                   You still admired me
                 For the things I did

              and still do..

                  Went  to sleep
              Then woke up
   You were not there
      But I knew

            you’ d been around

                           somehow

                            somewhere

                            Between your lie

                    and my truth

               your truth 

                  and my lie...

You  didn’t say a word

           Neither did I

                      Could be...

           I got you wrong

              And so did you 

                               Could be...
                                  We just again

                                        misunderstood...

The secret of this world is

that

all things subsist

never die

they move away from our sight

and then return

Nothing dies

Humans seem to die

but they don’t

they are looking from behind the window

in great shape

only dressed in a new

strange disguise...

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891)

So Near

 

It was about…

let me see...

a short period

with a beginning

    and an end
kind of...

a circle

 perfect was it

as it was here 

in what I call

 me

and I was 

all the time

there

mean here

... in myself.

While observing

These pairs 

just  don’t match

yet, 

they hold hands

and show off.

A few too many 

gross bodies

 showing vital  

dissatisfaction.

This heat’s burning 

my  left arm

while I drive 

 home to safety.

..

Joining at d’verse because it’s Tuesday and because, honestly, I always expect some people to read. That’s so selfish on my part-I reckon- since I’ve been off blogging and  unable to catch up lately. Please, let me apologize for that, esp.  to those who (as I used to) find the time to come here, no matter what.

THANK you so much for being there.

Also, please, understand, I’ve been trying to comment on some of you- but having to write down my comments together with passwords, mails and/ or verification words... makes it all so much worse. Could you please get rid of that?

Anyway, thank you again!

Moment or Momentum

Extreme enlightenment  

      frees the souls

     which visit the venue

       under no condition

            for long

.

To the creative

    a whole

to the ignorant

    a hole

.

Pending someone’s decision

     whose name is found

     near and on

          both poles

.

The daring

     call it forfeit

the timid

      a new sacrifice

.

No achievers

.

None conversant with

when it ends up

or if it ever does.

Fantasy (from my exhibition) by Antanas

we belong

              we belong
                   to the whispers

                          of the wind

                and the haze

                     that floats

                             hiding

                                the sunset

                   to the hands

                           we hold

               ...   to each other

Together. by Sarah Lombart

inconclusive

Apart from all this I seize

I am all this I dream

The cracked walls

In the messy  dirty

wet house

the aggressive rough

 huge wave

the shaky unprotected

narrow staircase

the dirt

the naked

the blind

and that guy

who ignores

and avoids me

day and night

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Keith Reesor

DEVOID

Falling tears down to my lips

Craving to yell

Cry out this agony

Inside

Beneath

 My chest and fantasy

Weeping in torment

Sensing slowly

Gathering

The small pieces

Of what should have never been

Taken for granted.

Finis. by Martin Muir
