The Wizard’s Defeat

Banished from the world not the magic in his head he plots strategies to rule the sky and the stars. A full moon smiles above….   Busy as Moon is tricks well concealed, protected in its roundness sleeves and hats are not his game he rolls over the night….   The wizard’s sharpness angular wisdom … Continue reading The Wizard’s Defeat

Challenged

dreams lie beyond Sun and Moon -challenged by light years -uneclipsed by hopelessness -fired by courage   I will lower the stratosphere -or grow tall enough to peek into the rough and tumble of imagination ready to face the unseen   I hope to find something worthwhile -else conversion of nothing to something will become … Continue reading Challenged

Escapism

I wonder what peeling the earth will reveal -stormy depths -emotions paling into insignificance   -unseen calm belittling mammoth peace efforts -our pride in humanity melting in co-existence   yet I move away – as lessons follow me afraid of being dwarfed by Earth -my magnificence unpricked https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2019/03/12/photo-challenge-254/

hold your breath as I exit mine life asphyxiated in a maze of tubes -in the doldrums but the mind runs I crave stability if death offers it I believe in eternity of soul if there’s a way to show it let me go in peace so that we all live -maybe at different levels … Continue reading Breathing free

Introversion

my bashful self taken aback by unabashed display of raw emotions calculates the price introverts pay for being what they are an extrovert laughs aloud as he attends a coveted bash misleads the world with perceived influence Perceptions rule the world.....

A time to stand

A time to think A time to analyse A time to stand up for truth A time to stand up to power A time to make your presence felt For how long will you get manipulated agree, applaud, walk away with indoctrinated pride? For how long will you believe stories crafted to suit a purpose … Continue reading A time to stand

Destiny

Anticipation brings in wild ideas I feel my shape changing to suit an imagined future -strangulated by serpentine coils of fear and greed. Why does happiness never come alone pure and untainted- to make me a fairy and break the human spell? Why await destiny thinking – what’s on the other side Heaven or Hell? … Continue reading Destiny

Innocence

fairies are not wallflowers or pages in a story book they enter my dreams wordlessly expanding realms of thought merging worlds finding probability between possible and impossible. they come back every time I see unexpected success victory of the good but most of the time I think - Why did the storywriters choose to lollygag … Continue reading Innocence
