Hourglass

Sand falls
Through the glass

Within the past
Memories dance
They never last
Head in my hands
As I stare overhead

Falling Down Stairs

Stairs broken
Wheels unspoken
I fell
Grasping for air
Are...

may overtake at any moment.
Vaguely felt...

Gazing down along the zealously
Monitored borders of well clipped
Evergreen Privet hedges.
Standing watchful guard over 
Divisions
Re-enforced by concrete posts and
Darkly stained, wooden, wavy-lap 
Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes,...

Moment a desire arises 
we become joyous

My eyes grow heavy,
Yet I can't sleep,
My soul feels weighted,
But I can't weep

Without the hope I need
I need to talk

of perception
as reality.

It matters not
what is seen.

there's a lot of outside interference
Aluminum yawning creates constant static
I can't hear you ... can you hear me?
Stonewalls separate us,
frequent bathroom stalls

inaction seen by detached retinas
Silently viewing
societal norm walls falling 
Violently by lewd winds toppling ...
house of marked cards folding
Rendezvous...

We must find a way bring it out in the open so that it’s blinding

Where are the universal themes,
the parables, the parallels that might
be drawn from humdrum, quotidian
happenstance?  We languish in these ruts
we live in and bear our...

Conjuring anxiety, obstructing path of hope,
A quivering hesitation, frightened to cope;
Fear is omnipresent causing anguished moan
Agitating aspirations in distress of unknown.

Fear is darkness, a trepidation...

As answers deceive
The questions stand
And dancers leave
To track the sand
Round robin conspiracy
Threatening us all
The letters all lower case
Their finality tall
Butting my head
Inside of the line

No need for violence or aggression
A passive acceptance of oppression 
A powerful tool for social protest
To be peaceful and not violence many will resist
