Distanced I Dis connect
Distanced I Dis connect
Disconsolate enuii
I flick the screen alive
strangers flood my space
they disparage what I use
push their disposable trash
I dismiss the ploys they use
their flashing light displays
the blur of too much choice
disturbed by airbrushed smiles
all those disjointed claims
I distrust their AI games
disquietened by false charm
my silence disconcerts
so they offer me a deal-

It's A Pleasure To Connect With You
“It's A Pleasure To
Connect With You,”
AI can say that, and
Sound like it
Means it…

But.

Well, no human
Can, either…

And, keep your
Mitts off MY CAPS!!!

Where Wonder Lingers
I stepped into a world unknown,
Where seeds of silence had been sown.
New faces turned but did not speak—
A quiet strength for hearts to seek.
She watched me with a steady gaze,
As if to read through subtle haze.
No words were said, yet much was told,
Through eyes that searched, serene and bold.
Her glance, a question held in time,
A

rapped heads i don't connect
Come again
Come against
The temple the how is is going
Sir

Yet im a man
In line

Ant
To me
Loud about it
Check da mate
King to a cause
You inordinate

Textable mouths

Like an agent of change
Your minds a painful page
Working on lines
In war
You a charge that can’t fake in

Nature's Rhythm: I Listen and Connect
In an island amidst the seamless seas,
lost in the warmth of a dream-like enchanting moment,
I sense a smooth placid stillness and repose.
As the golden ball ascends,
light bids adieu to the dark with a soft kiss -
the sky welcomes her beloved with a vermilion smile.
Mind greets thoughts anew that evoke delight,

CONNECT AND RISE
We each have strengths.
Connected together we can change our world.
Every one of us has seen areas in our control.
That needs to change,
To make us whole.
Find that connection.
Become one with others.
Unite and

Do I Know You
Do I know you?
No.
You don’t know me.
How can you when I don’t know myself?
You know
that I’m wearing glasses
and have a pimple on my cheek.
You know
that I smile at the end of your sentences
but don’t know that I’m not really listening,
only hearing your
pauses.

Freesoul
Beneath the fury of sun
Wades a wobbly nun
Stomping on thorns
Watch the teary ferns
Scars on her skin
Carrying wounds engraved
Curse devious grin
And snakes she once craved
She sucked and spitted
Bouts of venom in her blood
Tainted by flood
Of emotions she once knitted
Profuse tears of fern
They observe
Drip on her burn
Numbing pain so perverse
Weeped the clouds
In meloncholic ambience
Silence crept loud
Spotting redemption

Trying To Connect
A shadow of the self
but a sliver of me
you know the inner self
and the turmoil that can be
Perhaps I have shown
you more of my self
then I should, or was wise
But for once I could not cover with half truths
and never do I speak lies
Perhaps its the outer me
I should have shared all along
The person with

Re-Connect
A weight upon my chest I feel,
An unexplained sorrow, oh so real,
They say happiness is contagious,
But sadness too, and it's outrageous.
What we consume, it affects us all,
The things we see, the things we fall,
Into a pit of disconnect and gloom,
A cycle of despair, a suffocating room.
It's not just our brain, but our soul,
That needs attention,

Connect With Nature
In need of fresh air, and to clear my mind. I could think of no better place than the beach. So hike I did down to the beach.
Sitting on the beach admiring this ageless ocean whilst the crashing waves hypnotizes me into freeing my soul, and dance to the rhythm of the water.
Freeing my

Insecure
From when we first met, We set to get wet
The spark made us connect, Yet,
There you go and fret, Set to get wrecked
Reject.
Insecure,
I told you before, You're no chore
Always wanted more, Brought it to the fore
This done before, You became insecure.
From when we first talked, Walked
Opened up our thoughts, Sharing reports
Intimate lyrics, left me
