In my own words...and pictures...
Just a few rambles...nothing structured...just as it comes out.
I need somewhere for it all to go...so why not here?
If you enjoy this then its a bonus! I will probably work on these things as I go, so expect changes!!
My only warning is please don't think I'm trying to be a proper poet...It's all a bit of a laugh really which is why I call it freeform poetry...
Nuf said I hope.
Enjoy the experimental makeup pictures too!
Pheebs.
HUMAN BEAN
You kinda gotta ave a rhythm with this stuff.....
The mystery of lifeLies in the small
The inconsequential
The lame.
Not just
The glorious
The magnificent
And sane.
And the first
Small stirrings
Of realization
Come to us
As life reveals
Through It's jigs
And reels
That there are
Many people
Upon the stage
And only one drama
All played upon
A panorama
At the same time
Throughout
Every age
The entire universe
Feels the same.
All you have to know
And this is best
Is what your part is
And forget the rest.
MOUSE
You could call it lazy poetry..it's kind of like a rhyme that doesn't always rhyme....
I've beenAs timid
As a mouse
Breakneck
Tripping
Round
The house
Over
Ridiculous things
That no longer apply!
Curious
Whiskers
Twitching
I ask
Questions
Of you...
Tail twitching
You know not
Of any answer
To it all
Or even
What to do!
So I leave you
In a larva bed
Of your own making
And I go back
To being a mouse
Breakneck
Tripping
Round
The
House.......
TIME FOR YOUR OWN RHYME
Perhaps you can relate to the feeling and forget the words...!!
I can't eat, but I willI can't sleep, but I will
I don't know when though.
I sit here again
Feeling like I've had enough
If I could
I'd drive away from here...
Got to find a new feeling
Need to start over
Start over
And re-invent myself
Find a new state of mind
Be on my own
On my own time
In my own seasons
Find my own rhythm
And rhyme
It's time.
Endurance of Judgement..
Poor poor artist you....BE BIGGER THAN.....
Why do we have to put one thing "above" or "below" another, in terms of "worth"???Judgement...it's what we do!
Sometimes judgement is applicable, but only relatively to any given situation. To judge badly in affective situations can be powerfully destructive if allowed to run riot. Opinions, in other words, are not always welcome..but can be useful if kept at arms length...
We must have hides as thick as Elephants
Sensitivity like a mouse
Big heartedness like a home
And the wit to find our weaknesses out
Before the critics get home for tea.
That's the lot of the artist my friend.
It is good..isn't it???
I think I believe in life....
Positivity!Springing up around me!
I'm feeling inspired!
Feeling on fire!
Listening and percieving growth!
Even TV
Is doing it for me!
At least
There's more love around?
Even though
You're not listening
I know you hear me
Somewhere...
Its all becoming clear
I'm happy to be here!!
Inter-Fear
Nothing to fear but fear itself....
All true so farAll things being even
Which usually
They are not!
Coming face to face
With myself
In these
Halcian spring days
We are truly happy
As I can only imagine
Happiness to feel.
And though like the buds
Turning into leaves
I grow towards
Wherever leaves go
And with the fullness
Of the coming
Year ahead of me
Shaping out my destiny
I can only
Hope and pray
I don't let fear
Get in the way!!
In The Small Hours Of The Night
Free-association becomes freer at about 4.30am...
1.Flowing, with knowing
Full moon illuminating
Inner faces, curving
Into new shapes
Familiar and old
Loving new pastures
Of my mind
You help me
Find the rest of me.
2.
So much to say
So many cobwebs, to blow away
Is it real or entangled?
I keep unravelling
New layers, my inner selves
And I keep on learning
That you're amazing!
3.
Locked into eternal struggle with you
Your words locked into mind
Like code unleashing power
Surges of fresh understanding
Run through me, giving
Renewed belief.
4.
I used to go with it
Was it fear or desperation?
But I break it down
Every time I am
Your 4 o'clock
Compost man
Head gets overtaken
By prescences unknown
And still I speak
To you, in my head!
5.
Nothing more than belief
Has brought me to this place
Locking me in to rhythms new
Piercing beats go right through
Strict master beats
Keeps us on our feet!
6.
Come down clarity
Once I've excercised my demons
Releasing power
Unlocking potential
More than two ways
Come to mind
Law of attraction
Says this is how it is
But intention overcomes
The obvious.
7.
Making no sense
Slowly slipping
In relevence
Feel the seeping
Confidence ebbs away
As we build our fence
Keep toppling it down!
Look beyond the frown
Need to exorcise
This part of town.
8.
You can't believe who I am!
Neither can I!
But it's the only thing I've found
That gives life meaning
Makes it profound
Stops you digging
Pot holes in the ground.
9.
Paper Guru
I write on trees
When I should be sleeping
Instead I'm peeping
Looking in the undergrowth
Finding out how differently
We invent our worlds.
10.
Deeply, deeper
Steep and steeper
Time, your very presence
Makes me smile
So it's worth going
The extra mile
Value in life
Delicious, vicious.
11.
The need for weaponry
Is the loss of hope and meaning.
12.
Wise am I?
If I know I can
Make or mend
Any situation
Twist or bend
Head on crashes
Can be averted
If I can trust
This instinct
To overcome
To be not wise
And come undone.
13.
I am meant to do this for reasons only known at a certain time of day.
14.
Sometimes I feel like the track that doesn't get played.
15.
Time flows into our rabbit holes
And preocupations, addictions
Getting caught up in entanglement
With our selves
And that's life's irony and lesson.
16.
That's what we try and be; what we see.
17.
Happy to sit in nether time
Dawn break, pre dawn time
And soft space feeling nice
All over my face, smiles
Instinctively respond
To your light.
18.
Little and often
That's what they said to me
Just let it go by
Let your head be free
I thought I knew
At the time it happened
But now I'm not so sure
I did at all!
19.
Tonight the makeup
Doesn't come off
I'll keep my mask on
Because I want
To be with you
Playing this crazy game
Real beyond real
Something soulful
But understated
Can I be this inflated?
