Unknown

driving across continents riding on international law conquering fear of the oblivion risking the unknown   my free spirit hopes to find redemption or salvation -but falls in depths below   imprisoned for seeking a life I hope those I left behind meet a peaceful end wherever they are https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2019/07/16/photo-challenge-272/

Then the fumes of the night put me to sleep” (As I walked out one Midsummer morning) Poem claustrophobic darkness not-s0-romantic a night prickly, sick dreams make me long for light … Continue reading Horrors of the night

Give it to them

they swim with tides for the day’s catch get rich with schemes not all humane   they hold secrets they nurture bonds they protect their kind ignorance they feign   we intellectuals in ivory castles just- look down with disdain the world conquered – so what we give it to them sky and earth meet … Continue reading Give it to them

It’s time….

it is the age of fascination it is the age to float, not walk it is the age to hope and dream to build castles in air   it is the age of illusion it is the age to text, not talk it is the age to smile and beam suitably for likes and share … Continue reading It’s time….
