Reality. Poems - Poems about Reality.

I heard Imagine, one of my favorite songs, this Juneteenth morning and thought how John Lennons’s lyrics and music still ring true…. I suppose that’s because imagining is also one of my favorite things to do. When I’m shocked and saddened at the hatred and prejudice I see I imagine a world where people embrace our differences and live...

Paint your reality Paint your reality Reality kicks in You grab your brush And trust it's no rush To paint the perfect picture Doesn't always mean It's perfect With the right stroke The end result can be worth it Have you really just looked deep within And really brought it out Starting with the sketch Filling in...

I got crashed; I became crashed; There must be some reason; I endured when I was lashed; Still, all slandered me of treason. I get flown by the Pilot, Who, too, succumbed with me; Tooth and nail he had fought, But who won was destiny. It’s a world that’s too strange, Of course, in the negative way; Slaughter is beyond my range; I can’t even think...

In our universe so vast, life and death is an interpretation. In our life, we hold dear sadness, and joy is an imagination. Our life is full of colors, or so we assume, But there are no colours — just the product of our brains. Reality is beyond what we imagine. What we see around is just an illusion. Nothing is...

I can’t remember who I was, before voices other than mine stepped in. I think I wanted to be a movie director, a script I read in kindergarten— a line or two still hums when I dream. I think I wanted to be a fashion designer, my first sketches— heels like daggers, dresses stitched with thunder. I think I wanted to be a writer,...

Sat alone again, sipping a few The old whiskey jar It's as empty as you Now you're gone I can see All that you did Just one more day To be your friend They say to live Each day as your last The reality is We're all tied to a mast Don't dream away These ideas that you have Because the moment is now Just remember...

Embrace the sea, Far out, a salty binge of air. Embrace the sea - Take a trip from reality. I’ll find a beach, beyond compare, Where natives play with much fanfare. Embrace the sea. Coconut palms, Port and Starboard sway, in warm air. Coconut palms, With their tropical-scented balms. Cut fruit open, sip island air. Underneath tree, hold rounded fare - Coconut palms Ship ahoy sad! Steering in the wrong...

Things are not making sense, and I am questioning if my reality is so because I thought it in to being. Am I the only one hearing the truth? Am I the only one believing? I think I am in need of a witness. Archons deceive souls using the illusion of separation. The mind is the sole...

There are things I know that you will never be sure about. My life was easy, you have gone through more than me but I understand the world just the same. Every path I take I take with uncertainty and conditional faith, every path I avoid I avoid with thought and assuredness. ...

'It's a pain that I caught you at a bad time It's a shame that I memorised your out-line' You were so honest about your whole lifetime, It took me too long to notice you were never truly mine. I compared you to angels in the heavens Always said you were better than any. I believed in picking off flower...

I’ve lived and I’ve loved or so I thought, came out broken, beaten and battered. A false embrace a kiss of lies, All loves games I bought. Tried to be just who I am, Not one would care to ease. Friends, family or chosen mate, Would bring me to my knees Shut my mouth to obstruct the blow, The Anger, fury and wrath, The Inevitable...

In the silence, I hear my own voice A whispered longing, a heart that makes some noise I reach for connection, a gentle touch But find instead a space that's too much The weight of unspoken words, a heaviness I bear A sense of longing that I've learned to share With every step, I search for a place to stand A sense...
