In a dream
everything blue
our faces were one
mutual eyes
still blurred
grew your hair
your expression
taught my face
opened my mind
wasn't scared
fluid mixture
much commotion
everything still blue
but me.
​
Crawl under a flyover
collecting cities in pockets
discarding ones forgotten
forage for more
emptied once again
sifting through
selected sense of home.
Why do I often
get the broken travel seat
Is it to test my anxious mind
mental imbalance and now
unfixed cheeks kept alert
never too comfortable
drift off forget where I am
or a selfish act on my part
purposefully or innocently
triggered stream of coincidences
leading to my wobbled body
I stare around the carriage
fixed bodies and faces
glued to phones to pages
so still, unhindered in travel
lower back sinks
moulded into ill posture
a conditioned form
from social norm
neck arched
face down
shoulders bent
slipping hips
so we can ingest
our technological meal
on the move.
​
​
​
Symbolic systematic felled tries
cracked neck from barber's chair
career course impromptu life choices
misdemeanour or mean demeanour
distressed uncontested opinions left
digital scrutiny emotionally ridiculed
swiped up sentiment pressed deeper
moments unjust mulled components
appeared peers now nowhere.
​
Legless addict at the feet of disbelief
wonder why things stay stagnant
for to trespass a tyrant mind blocker
the creative flood builds up behind him
discrete drips seep through unseen, unknown
even to themselves, they exchange glances
connected in ways and diluted in others
reminiscent of past times, past eyes, seeing
what is now understood as the power of love
to produce a proud hand in a close future
extend a self to the man I know I am.
​
We are all people
nor by measure equal
less deceitful
more deluded
delightful
unobtrusive
I have regret
yet still forget
less life lived
more than I think.
​
A reckless fear of love
despondency of intuition
true force of giving
invitation to the unknown
hate drawn trough speculation
deviation
a thought to teleport
content with the contents
relate not be relative
always a fleeting weak kneed feeling
undress persistance
journey in
help yourself out
only then will opposing spirits
fully ease in confidence.
