Мне тут пять лет. Открытый взгляд В открытый мир. Все жизнью дышит. Никто ни в чем не виноват. Мне было пять, но я был выше. #poetry #verse #poems #images #AiArt Illustration by Orion. Переиздание/Reissue

All their good advice
won’t help you get any closer to
peace of mind

Only a conceit that gives you
a temporary reprieve from your
heartbreak in the middle
of the night

I live in the shadows of your affluent town.
You don’t want me around.
I am your clown.
I am your joke
with a gut-wrenching punchline.
I got nowhere to hide.
You fear the lonely desperate
rage burning in my eyes.

The world is filled with so many stories
no one wants to hear.
There’s a gnawing fear
eating away at each of us.
There’s no escaping it.
It bonds us,
but also separates us.

You think I am strange,
because my heart seems rearranged.
Straining for the right things to say,
my resolve so quickly slips away.

Can’t you see?
Conformity has never come easy to me.
I am feeling so awkward and bittersweet.

Even our past heartaches
are trapped in a recycled daze
Another fresh take on dead ideas and you call
that progress

These are rerun days.
Trapped in a recycled daze
Only the names and faces change

After the money
lovers,
so-called friends
passion
and ambition is gone
What do we have left?
A space where our souls used to be
They call it the abyss.

#Booksky #poetry #poet #poems #ebooks

Sapping all our strength
draining our minds of ideas and dreams
in the name of a progress
we’ll never see
Just another series of empty deals
a soulless pact
as they steal all we have
or will ever have

This is the state of our disunion
A notice of dissolution.
Failures of communication

Embracing fantasies and easy lies
instead of hard solutions
until it’s too late to heal all the
heartbreak.

Complaining about the cost of eggs and gas…
A bitter memory as they deport your family and send you to concentration camp
ignorance won’t save you
in the face of fascism
as you clung so desperately to your racism
They said it couldn’t happen here
#poems #booksky #poets #fascism

They said it couldn’t happen here
now your future is a boot heel on your neck
choking off your dreams of freedom
they don’t keep their fascist dreams hidden, kid
making excuses for missing fascists in plain sight
smiling behind blue suits and lies as they steal your rights
#poems #poets #booksky

My life is in ruins
My dreams are burned out
I am one of the walking wounded
I am not alone
I see walking wounded all over this town
Got broken eyes that see through
the lies we all tell ourselves
just to get through another night

This book is a collection of transitions.
It is the space between the storm and the silence, the cry and the whisper, the busy street and the quiet river. It is a look at a world that can be deeply ugly, written in the hope of finding something beautiful.

"You've Got Mail!" by Moon

#poem #poems #poetry

Said a woman, "It's easy to #lure me,
Because nothing can ever inure me
To fine choc'late's allure.
And of this I am sure:
There's undoubtedly NO way to cure me."
