MMXXII
There’s poetry to life I think.
A cadence, a tune, a melody.
It’s off
beat most times, often
off
key and dissonant and
,perhaps,
a little self important.
It’s us that makes it beautiful.
The life we lead has a rhythm
uniquely ours.
Nobody can really tell
where it’s going
next,
Or how it will pan out, or
how
long
it’s going to last.
It’s a contemporary dance, all
harsh
angles
with unexpected bursts of
Brilliance
and joy
muddled into it.
NOTHING MORE
It seems to me that poetry is nothing more
than a thought.
A sigh of the heart, reaching towards
nothing more
than a cry for understanding.
The soul aches for a likeness to be found
in nature, another human connection, which is (I believe)
nothing more,
or less,
than the meaning of life.
About the Creator

Inspired by Lemony Snicket, who kindled a flame in my childish mind, and I am constantly in awe of Douglas Adams' ability to gather seemingly ordinary words into a confusing bouquet of inspiration and hilarity.

He Loved Her...
Can't speak yet she hasn't forgotten how to think Can't feel yet she still knows what is real Cornered she just cowers Tallying the hours until she's free Struggling in darkness to find the key's grace That will relieve her from this suffocating embrace

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
